I do not have an account at any of the "social media" sites that appear on Jaguars.com.  These include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Vine, Pinterest, Snapchat and LinkedIn.  I don't have a YouTube or Gmail account. 

And, none of the videos on Jaguars.com will play in my browser - any browser, actually.  Even a freshly-installed browser failed to play videos on Jaguars.com.  It's not a technical problem with video playback, since the ads play back perfectly.  The ad ends but the video content never begins.

I remember when the Jags said they were changing their website to "embrace" social media more.  They didn't mention they would be blocking content if the user is not on social media.  So, here is one lifelong Jaguar fan who will be a rare visitor to the Jaguars site going forward.

I rarely visit the site. After Vic left, it just wasn't the same anymore. I click on a link from this site on occasion, but that's about it.
What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
