Take a breath. While you're doing that, please cite the post where I said I agree with that stance.Who determines whose place it is to correct the record? The NYT got it wrong about the Pats. The Pats knew how they got it wrong inasmuch as they were immediately aware that the Times had not factored in the staff. That a president that many despise is in office doesn't magically deprive them of the right to say "you got your facts wrong about us and here's how." I also find it amusing that folks are stressing that the fact that the Patriots used three tweets, thereby violating the time honored One Tweet for a Correction Rule, is somehow noteworthy.
I'm completely agnostic about who goes, who doesn't and in general, Tweets. But to ignore that the NYT tweet was not intended to slight the Pats - but instead Trump - and that it was questionable whether the Pats should be the ones to jump in is pretty myopic, IMO. And no, there is no parallel to DFG because his false news wasn't aimed at them, before you even go there.
I'm about as anti-Trump as you can get and while I dissociate that from my football team's association to him, I'm not exactly psyched to see them run out to defend him. I'd prefer they stayed out of as much as they can. Either way - again - the Tweet was not criticizing the NEP and whether you agree with it or not, there is an argument to be made that they should have stayed out of it. Which was my point.
