Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco recently said that he plans to use Twitter during regular-season games. The comments caught the attention of NFL officials who have said that the use of Twitter during games.
“You know, it’s funny - I like it. I like it because it gives me the opportunity to reach out to thousands of people at one time. It gives me a chance to get my story across when something goes wrong…It’s big for me and I’m taking it a step further. I have my own application coming out where people will be able to interact and follow me. You know more than through just the keyboard and reading my messages - you’ll actually be able to follow me and when the season starts, it’s going to get even worse. I’m going to really make it fun. I’m using Twitter during games, during halftime, after the games. I’m going to be taking it to the next level.”
NFL officials caught wind of Chad Ochocinco's comments and said that tweeting during games would violate league rules.
"We already have a rule that prohibits the use of cell phones or other handheld devices in the bench area during games," Aiello told us via e-mail.
Chad Ochocinco says that no league rule will stop him from using Twitter. He announced it, of course, through Twitter.
Damn NFL and these rules, I am going by my own set of rules, I ain't hurting nobody or getting in trouble, I am putting my foot down!!
