As of August 1st 2018, Facebook has ceased offering third party partners like Opendorse the ability to publish to Facebook Profiles. While our software still has the ability to publish to Pages on behalf of the verified athletes using Opendorse, the modification to the Facebook API has removed one of the permissions we previously had with the social media platform. From a Facebook blog post:
​ 
The publish_actions permission will be deprecated. This permission granted apps access to publish posts to Facebook as the logged in user. All apps moving forward will not have access to this permission. Apps created that have been previously approved to request publish_actions can continue to do so until August 1, 2018. No further apps will be approved to use publish_actions via app review. Developers currently utilizing publish_actions are encouraged to switch to Facebook's Share dialogs for web, iOS and Android.

Athletes may be able to go through the reconnect account process if they have a Facebook Page, at which point content would be able to be shared to post on their Facebook Page.
