Oh, wow, this actually got put up for a vote? Thanks!
I have a couple of dots on teams owned by other people. Right now, if one of those owners wants to look at my dot's build and make sure I'm not being a complete idiot, he can just pull up my dot and look at my build because I have my Attribute Sharing Option set to "All team members can view." I could, of course, block him by setting it to "Hide attributes from all" and start training up Punting on my OT, but I don't mind him seeing my build, so I leave it open.
I ALSO want that owner to be able to see what my player's TACTICS are, so he can double-check and make sure I remembered to switch to Pass-Focus for our next game. But right now, he can't, because there's no Tactics Sharing Option available for me. If he wants to know what my tactics are (which I'm perfectly fine with him seeing), he has to send me a PM asking me what my tactics are and hope I log-on and read it soon enough. Wouldn't it be easier if he could just click on my dot's profile and check the Tactics directly, just like he can already do with my dot's build?
So, I'd love it if my dots had a "Tactics Sharing Option" too, just like the "Attributes Sharing Option." Right now, my Tactics are basically set to "Hide tactics from all," even though I don't want them to be hidden, and I have no choice to change them. I'd like that choice, so I can let the owner see my tactics.
Nobody would be forced to open up their Tactics, just like nobody is forced to open up their Builds right now either. I don't want to take away your right to "Hide (blank) from all." I just want an option that is not available to me right now: the ability to automatically share my tactics with my owners.

FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS
1.) Isn't this going to lead to team owners forcing everyone on their team to open up their tactics by benching people who don't? Happens all the time with people keeping their builds closed!
Actually, people getting benched over closed builds doesn't happen nearly as often as you think. Check out this thread I posted over on the Goal Line Blitz forum ( http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4435940 ) where I asked a simple question: how many people here have ever been benched for keeping their builds closed. 67 replies and 2 days later, I've had exactly 2 agents who say they've been benched, two team owners who say they bench closed builds -- and WAY more agents and owners who say they've never had much of a problem with keeping their builds closed.
So, if your fear is that owners are going to force dots to open their tactics because you think owners already do that with builds, guess again. That sort of owner micro-management doesn't happen nearly as much as you think it does.
2.) Didn't this get suggested already and get 80 bajillion -1 votes? Time to lock this shit.
Actually, nope. You're probably thinking of this Suggestions thread ( http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4406091 ) where the OP wanted to force everyone's tactics to be opened to team owners.
My suggestion is different. I don't want to force anyone to do anything. My suggestion is to give agents the choice to open or hide their own tactics as the agent sees fit. Want to make them open? You can make them open. Want to hide them? You can hide them. Want to only have your teammates or owners see your tactics? You can do that too -- just like you can right now with your build.
