Older NFL players are forgetting to charge Tablet playbooks

The NFL’s decision to give its players digital playbooks on Tablets was supposed to make life easier for them.

However, for some of the older players, it seems to be having the opposite effect, with there being confusion on how to operate them.

From the Wall Street Journal:

"Like any workspace in corporate America, there is a clear divide in the NFL between millennials and the over-30 crowd, who are having a little bit of trouble with the new technology. In particular, they struggle keeping it charged before team meetings, where wall outlets are few and far between.“My 5-year-old son understands it better than I do,” said Oakland Raiders offensive lineman Donald Penn.(…)“This [tablet] would work a lot better for me if it was actually able to turn on,” said 31-year-old Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth. “I show up every day and it is totally dead. As [scatterbrained] as I am, this is really, really bad.”"

It’s hard not to find this all humorous, considering it appears like millionaire NFL players have just as much of grasp on technology as many of our parents.

Hopefully the younger guys will start helping their vets with the tablets.

Although the most humorous outcome here would be the league helping educate its players on how to properly charge a Tablet.
