J.J. Watt shares a lot of content on his Twitter and Instagram accounts. Even though this may annoy people, the Texans’ defensive end still has 1.85 million Twitter followers and 2 million Instagram followers.

While some criticize Watt and others for their over use of the social media platforms, Watt doesn’t plan on changing.

“We have social media and people want to see access, they want to know what you’re doing, they want day-to-day, what’s going on in his life?” Watt said, via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. “Then every single thing you do becomes a story, whether it’s a tweet, whether it’s an Instagram post, whether it’s a Snapchat, every single thing becomes a story.”

Watt had a lot to say about the topic when it was brought up to him recently. He added that one problem with social media is it is a cynical world due to how much we have now. As a result, Watt thinks people believe someone is fake simply because of how much they may share.

“If we could just believe in the good and we can actually spend our energy on being good people and doing good things as opposed to trying to rip other people down or trying to poke flaws in other people, I think then we can truly help make changes in the world,” Watt said.

The same day Watt said all of this, he and his Texans teammates were helping flood victims in the city. This is where he has a point as to how just because someone shares a lot on social media doesn’t mean they are a bad or obnoxious person.

But what doesn’t help him, whether he disagrees with it or not, is people most likely could view him differently because of how and when he shares. For example, Watt posted a Snapchat during the same major flooding period working out at the Texans’ training facility despite workouts being canceled.

Regardless of whether or not Watt does slightly agree with this social media issue now or will later, he’s still one of the league’s top defenders right now and maybe all-time. As a result, he may have the right to share and post as much as he wants especially considering he has nearly 4 million followers combined between Twitter and Instagram, so millions of people are interested in what he has to share.
