NFL Teams Launch Ban On Twitter

The New York Times reports that many image-conscious NFL teams are now banning Twitter from all team functions, including team meetings and coaching sessions. This, along with previous league-wide rules in place for use of computers or PDA’s in any game-related setting, effectively bans the popular social networking site from all NFL functions. Green Bay and Miami, in particular, have issued harsh bans, not wanting players to inadvertently give away secrets or strategies to opposing teams or media in otherwise innocuous tweets. The Patriots, however, are still allowed to cheat in whatever way they see fit.
