So according to the new policies NFL just released, there will be no more tweeting by the reporters during the practice.

I guess that means we won’t get live tweets anymore. I wish we did considering all the new players we have, Tua being primary. Who else was looking forward to those tweets about Tua to Parker/gesicki for a TD pass.
 
Interesting decision about tweets.

I enjoyed the live camp updates via the beat writers social media posts. Admittedly, you had to sift through the bias and chaff, but nice to be able to follow the practice sessions.

This obviously has nothing to do with covid safety, so what's driving that decision? Maybe the organization is trying to mitigate the media setting the narrative? I don't know, but I don't like it. What is the thought behind suppressing real time, but completely public information?
 
This stinks. I was so looking forward to the live tweets from training camp. Every summer it made my days!!! Hopefully some fans will figure out new ways to get the news out. Perhaps taking more extensive notes and tweeting later, with a complete breakdown of what they saw? 2020 keeps getting weirder by the day. Blame Omar!!! Lmaooooo!!!
 
Really disappointing....

Maybe they will allow a report or article like at the end of a week or two or something..

Always one of my favorite things to do was reading the camp updates

What do you suppose is their reasoning?
 
Wow so ridiculous. I’m so fing pissed. So pretty much nothing to look at until preseason starts. Maybe they won’t televise that either. Fing stupid. Like there hasn’t been enough inactivity in sports this yr

I hear ya man, training camp updates are something I look forward to after that drought once the draft is over.

I would wake up excited every morning for it. I know Flores limited it some last yr but none at all? Come on

This is the nfl doing it. I don’t know why they made changes to that, it has no affect on covid. Maybe since they are limiting the amount of reporters, they want to make it fair. I can see some newspaper/website complaining another source gets to tweet/write articles on what they saw at training camp, but they couldn’t.

The live tweeting is good, but have we go to the point that we have a hard time waiting until the practice is over and reporters posting the same information an hour or so later? I never really got why it was so important to know the practice details the minute it happened instead of reading the same info a little later. It's not like they are banning all reporting about the practices, just no live tweeting or reports. The same is true with the draft, I don't get why they can't just conduct the day's activities behind closed doors and then release the information dur a 1 or 2 hour tv broadcast in the evening.

As far as the draft goes... they make way more revenue making it a three day event on television.
