Recently on the web these’s been a flurry of news about Sammy Sosa’s Pinterest page. Most of the attention has been about the quirky photos and repetitive stiff caption adorning every single photo:

Sammy Sosa. Yes, I’m the real Sammy Sosa, and this is my Pinterest.

Fine, I get it. Sammy Sosa took a few awkward photos and his social media team isn’t too savvy. No big deal.

But what I find especially bizarre are the tags on some of the photos on his official Flickr page. Tags like these: “Sammy Sosa Before and After”, “Sammy Sosa Skin”, “Sammy Sosa Bleached”, “Sammy Sosa Bat”.

Here’s an example photo with those tags. I’m surprised because these tags reference recent Sammy Sosa scandals, such as speculations that he bleached his skin and he cheated using a corked bat. Why would these tags be on Sammy’s official Flickr page?

My guess is the photographer was trying to boost page views by including popular keywords. But why would a professional photographer risk alienating one of his clients just for a few extra page views? Not too savvy indeed.
