This is gonna be like the Streisand effect in a way.

They need to learn from the NBA who embraces its fanbase that makes videos/gifs/etc etc

And the NFL is wondering why viewer ship and profits are down.

It's because the television rights are the meal ticket that pays the bills.

So is the NFL Network still going to post videos from their Facebook page? After all they don't have anymore control of the dissemination from Facebook anymore than the teams.

So stupid.

How the **** can you equate gifs with an unauthorized audio visual dissemination of a game?

It's 2016, so this is part of life.

While it sucks, in the PC world we live in, corporations feel the need to control what's said so they minimize damage from mistakes.

I'm don't see why this is a big deal, as it only applies while the game is happening, not after.

If people want to see videos during the game, go to the team's website.

Does anyone really go to Snapchat or Facebook during a game to see highlights?

its not though, its the only ****ing league that does this. NBA and MLB arent so ****ing tight with this> They embrace it. NBA was the first to do this and its growing pretty fast all around the ****ing world.

Its just NFL Being bitches like they always have been. They do it with EVERYTHING.

I think it's the fences the NFL keeps drawing-in ever closer.

True, but it certainly has the feel of them laying the foundation for a new precedent.

They certainly are doing some things that are angering people.

you would be ****ing amazed how much Facebook and Snapchat have invaded the world we live in today.

No, I get it, it's just that I don't understand why anyone would choose Facebook or Snapchat over a team website for highlights while the game is being played.

Keep in mind, they're not restricting the fans from posting videos to social media, just the actual teams that are playing.

What a herd of clueless jerkoffs.
