NFL Says “No” to Players Tweeting During Games

July 9th, 2009 | by Adam Ostrow0 Comments

If you were hoping for Chad Ochocinco to pull out his cell phone and tweet after scoring a touchdown this season, prepare to be disappointed. According to NBC Sports, the NFL will not allow in-game tweeting, per the league’s current policy of prohibiting players or other team personnel from using their cell phones during competition.

However, it’s unclear what the penalty will be for doing so, and if the past is any indicator, an attention seeking multi-millionaire of the Ochocinco variety will probably be happy to pay the fine for the thrill of pulling off an unprecedented touchdown celebration and tweeting from the end-zone (a rare occurrence last season, as my fantasy team would have you know).
