New NFL policy upsets media

In a move designed to protect the Internet operations of its 32 teams, the pro football league has told news organizations that it will no longer permit them to carry unlimited online video clips of players, coaches or other officials, including video that the news organizations gather themselves on a team's premises. News organizations can post no more than 45 seconds per day of video shot at a team's facilities. The policy, announced last month with little fanfare, has frustrated journalists, who say it constricts the public's access to information about the nation's most popular spectator sport. A coalition of news organizations has been quietly lobbying the league for months to change the rule.

Goodell continues to follow the Marxist model: if you can control the flow of information, you can control the world.

June 30, 2007  04:56 PM ET

I can't get to see clips of the future 2007 AFC Champion Texans anymore??? That sucks, look out league, here we come!!!!

WE MUST UNITE AND CRUSH ROGER GOODELL!!!

June 30, 2007  09:48 PM ET

So what's the big deal, exactly? News sources are going to do the obvious - tape a whole ton of 45 second videos, then put them up on YouTube.

I will look forward to "Randy Moss kills teammates, part 1 of 12"
