Many players have objected to the League's decision to criticize brunch.
Sontaught's reason for the night between lions and kings puts different stories about the same stories on Sunday.
By the way, the NFL is wrong to operate in the media at home.
NFL Films via MLive.com released video from the NFL Turning Point broadcast of Branch's "long play" that ended with a hit to the head of Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.The clip, narrated by ESPN's Louis Riddick, was removed after publication.
The league addressed the issue Friday.
The NFL tools are looking for every way to have a unique voice and vision," they said in every way as a result of dealing with them.
However, it is not known why it is not set as more important when it is separated from the part that contains the actual content, which is the position of the League.It's also the position of the league that made this situation, it's not the nfl.
Riddick apparently didn't get the memo.He said the segment was "spoken by me", indicating that it was not his "vision".Riddick also suggested that the final product was a collaborative effort.
Regardless of how the NFL film and Tongku hijack this argument, the Lions will be angry.
"I just thought it was a weak, weak move," offensive lineman Kaka Dan told Mlive.com."Obviously the shield protects, so I can't talk much. I already got a letter - I'll see.
"Look, BB is one of us, when the public keeps digging, I think that's one thing. I don't know how many of the millions of people who have seen it actually know BB. I know BB. So they're going to do what they're going to do at the end of the day. It's called one of us. This is ours, and we're going to be hypocrites."
Defensive tackle DJ Reeder agrees.
'I thought it was crazy - I was born,' Bala told Mlive.com."You have a video, you don't care about the madness and you could escape the bigger thing. I thought it was amazing."
But this is the reality.The league had to justify its decision to suspend Branch for Monday night's crunch game between the 5-1 Buccaneers and the 4-2 Lions.And the league owns and operates NFL Films.Whatever NFL Films says, the NFL says.
That's what happens if a sport is followed by a company that makes a program for that sport.Nothing special.No real platform.
And Branch Video is just the latest example of that.
Even if it's late to the game, other sports leagues need to realize that audience dynamics will affect their decisions about what content they choose, in order to eliminate their home media companies, regardless of expectations.
Typically, NFL media deserves skepticism because they avoid sensitive topics.In this case, Big Shield used the media company it owns and operates not as a shield against criticism of the league, but as a sword against one of its players.
