Parsons had to leave the game and went back to the locker room. What did he do? Did he try and watch the rest via television? Did he take a shower?
Did he think about what he had done and mull over the play?
He may have done those things. But, he also tweeted, too:

In regard to Parsons’ action, coach James Franklin addressed the matter on Tuesday during his press conference:
Franklin thought that Micah Parsons handled the ejection call very well. Did it with class. Franklin wasn't a fan of him tweeting during the game but still was proud that it was a positive messages…just not during the game.

Franklin gave Parsons some props here — though it wasn’t all good. Sure, Parsons handled the call well as a whole and the message in his tweet was a good one.
However, you probably shouldn’t be tweeting in the locker room while the game is going on.
At least that’s what Franklin believes.
