Don’t expect Patriots head coach Bill Belichick to be signing up for Facebook and begin sending out friend requests anytime soon.<\/p>\n
Belichick has shared his opinion on social media over the years, often just in the form of quick snippets, but he shined a bit more light on the subject this week — specifically how the team approaches usage among its players.<\/p>\n
The Patriots are a tight-lipped organization, and that’s always how they’ve done business. They approach social media the same way, apparently, with the Patriots ensuring there are no cell phones on the football field.<\/p>\n
Not only that, Belichick went on to say he “hates” social media, and gave a funny quote about why engagement (“likes”) don’t really matter in the game of life.<\/p>\n
\nBill Belichick:<\/p>\n
"I hate social media. We get rid of it whenever we can…get rid of the phone, have a conversation…there's no cell phones out on the field"<\/p>\n
"Who cares if you get 2,000 likes from people you don't even know? It's the 53 guys in the locker room that matter"<\/p>\n
