NFL to Ban negative twitting

[freeringo]

Friends beware
It is happening everywhere you look.
People are getting in hot water because of their oppinions
when they tweet and or post.
The written word can be very dangerous because you can't take most of it back.
One bad day could haunt you forever.
Even the NFL has benched a player for bad mouthing some plays after his game they lost.
We live in a new information world friends, time to read the new playbook.

While I find the tweeting amusing, I can't disagree with the decision.

The NFL is a business, and I wouldn't expect my boss to take me publicly defaming a company I worked for lightly.

I think the NFL has just violated the players constitutional rights to say and speak freely. If players union were to contest this and take it to court, it would be thrown out, based on that fact alone. :smash:

There is no constitutional right to bring harm to your employer. The Player's Union won't bat an eyelash because they know there's not much they can do.

i agree to bench the guy seems just wrong, but his twitter, i heard via proxy from a football fan freak i know, that his comments were not to the extent that he should have been benched. In fact more recently i heard the coach basicly telling the entire school they are banned from using twitter and that is stepping over the line. I personally don't care much for twitter. Could you all really care to know when i am cleaning the fungus out of my toe nails lol

Screw twitter and the NFL rules. Yes, it is a business but they are taking things way to far with all these new rules they are implementing. Come on now.... Twitter sucks btw.
