NFL got the @Deadspin and (probably) @SBNationGIF twitter accounts suspended over gifs.

[FloorGeneral]

Both accounts were suspended earlier today, and rumor was that MLBAM (Major League Baseball Advanced Media) was responsible, then this:



Dude's account has lots of others chiming in too, that vine accounts have been getting closed also with live NFL clips. MLB was going pretty hard at ppl a couple weeks back, having individual tweets containing gifs removed, and now the NFL has had 2 BIG accounts suspended.

Seriously...why? I just don't get these companies man.

This some bullshyt. And i noticed the NFL just started posting Video of plays on their twitter account this year. Of course with commercials.

 

[Upshall]

The NBA is the only league who understands the value of NOT being idiots about shyt like this.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

I hate that I love the nfl.

Can't bash a league everyday and still expect to use their footage. Reminds me of when Rachel Nichols got mad she didn't receive a credential to Floyd vs. Manny.

.....bullshyt....

It's not 'bullshyt' persay, but it's probably just dumb business. Why not let people promote your product for free?

The worst at this is Prince, I wish someone could make him see how many potential fans he loses by being paranoid about his music being on youtube
