Twitter Suspends Packers Writer Aaron Nagler
If you checked out Packersnews.com writer Aaron Nagler’s Twitter profile on Wednesday, you would see that he got suspended from the social media channel. People did not know exactly what Nagler did to earn himself a suspension from the social media company. This morning, we found out that the National Football League sent out a notice to Twitter to suspended him for promoting their content illegally. If not already, we’re headed to a dangerous place in social media.

Nagler did what we’ve seen from him for quite some time. He showcases different things you may have missed watching the game with your eyes. To be honest, it’s probably one of the top five reasons a Packers fan should follow him on Twitter. It’s extremely insightful and gives Packers nation a good perspective on what’s happening at a sky level.
The fact the NFL decided without notice that they would like this practice to stop is shameful and reckless on their behalf. It’s no surprise that Twitter caved in when asked about it because they have a relationship with the league and would not like to damage it. If the NFL were smart, they would license their content out to use for newspapers and media outlets. Sports Illustrated and Barstool Sports both have relationships with Major League Baseball, who after pulling this shit for years, finally figured out that they could charge money for websites to repurpose their content. If the NFL is trailing the MLB, it’s not a good sign. Baseball has shown themselves time and again to be the most archaic in the digital space, but it appears football is not far behind.
Hopefully, we will have Nagler back for Sunday’s game against Atlanta.
