NFL decides to Ban Twitter!

Posted on September 5, 2009 by max

Seriously, I think the NFL executives (or whatever they call the decision makers there) have no brains at all.  NFL has officially “banned” use of Twitter by players or their representatives before, during, and after the game.  (I would tell the NFL players to start a Twitter revolution.  It’s time the players make decisions!  After all, NFL isn’t NFL without the players.)

Okay, hold it. Sorry guys, I have to post this video too. Sorry for all the Atari stuff.
