NFL & Twitter

Sorry if this had already been discussed, quite interesting especially with the overall NFL viewership down 10%~ 

NFL teams could face huge fines for posting game GIFs and videos on social media - The Verge

I think it's stupid to fine teams for posting GIFS and videos on social media.

No Fun League in full effect.

People go by the ratings way too much, but the NFL has brought it upon it self. Im exactly the target audience for the NFL. They want me and my friends to rally up every sunday and go all out for our teams.

 

The first game of the year, Denver, really fuging put me off. I can say I haven't been that excited about the NFL as recent years, partly sure its because my team is ass but Im a football fan overall and like watching other games. It does get annoying with ANYTHING can get thrown out of context from snipits, gifs, whatever onto social media then it blows up and thats the final thought for millions of people.

I thought teams are fined only if the post during the game which our social media doesn't do.

Yeah I used to think it was stupid to say this but Gordell or whoever is making decisions is legitimately killing the league. And it's starting to show up in their numbers.

Just put some dang flags on em and be done with it

Great, hopefully Igo doesn't see this and start fining for GIFs.  On second thought, he should fine for shitposting, this site would hit the jackpot.  I'd buy stock.

You are correct. During the game from kick off up until 60 min after the game.

The new CBA is going to be a major showdown, I hope the players union comes in prepared and balances the league out.

I had to drag this thread up because this is apparently how the team handled it (although it looks like the tweet has now been deleted)
