Yup. The smart thing would have a photo of him putting the work in.
But I'm not he is a smart thing kinda guy
I have to ask this, (not particularly aimed at you) - does it really matter? Is what he posted of an empty gym really a big deal either way?

If he had posted a photo of him working out, would that have changed anyone's perception of him? Seriously doubt it, people would just be saying too little too late or whatever.

I must say, I don't get the point of him posting that pic but at the same time I really don't see what the big deal is about it either....

Absolutely it does.
It's an active choice of expression.
A picture of him working out would have been a positive action - a show of "I got it wrong, I'm going to put the effort in". Not being on time regularly is disrespectful to his manager, teammates, club and fans.

He's made an active choice to make a post - he gets to show what's in that post. Social media is a story for lots of people these days; his response to being shown up is to post what he's posted. A photo is a statement just as much as words are.

The smart thing would have been to post and say nothing. But he chose to post something. Anything other than an apology or an act of determination to right his wrong is a poor choice, and therefore a poor message.

But he probably looked "cool" to his hangers on.

I guess it's just my attitude towards social media in general, but to me posting a picture of you working out at the gym is not acknowledgement of getting it wrong and showing you're going to put the effort in. That, like any picture on social media shows a split second - if he wants to demonstrate putting in effort he does that on the pitch and in training. Nothing he does on SM makes an impact on that area.

Like I said, I didn't see the point of him posting that picture at all but regardless of what it was it certainly wouldn't have swayed me more positively or negatively towards him regarding his unprofessional behaviour. But perhaps that's just me....
