We all know the NFL is all about making as much money as they can. Anything that will benefit them they are down for the cause. Now they are implementing a new rule that will take place for all 32 teams in the NFL. According to MMQB’s Albert Breer the NFL will have a restriction on teams social media.
Due to a drop in ratings the NFL sent a memo to all teams letting them know that they will be subject to fines if they exceed the league’s limits on videos posted to social media before and during games.
The new policy will start Wednesday October 12th. Teams will be limited to reposting videos from the official NFL accounts on social media. Videos posted on Snapchat will be a little more lenient.
The first offense will cost up to $25,000, and a third offense could be up to $100,000 as well as losing your right to re-post official league content. So if a tries to embed an NFL Twitter video to their site, it will now redirect anyone to the NFL’s official Twitter page
The NFL denied that the rule was implemented because of a drop in ratings, but we all know that’s not true. Once again the No Fun League strikes again.
