You can’t put your #hashtag on the field anymore

Remember when we first saw a #hashtag end zone? Apparently now that will no longer be allowed.

As the above article tells us, it’s going to be very restrictive in what can and can’t be shown. Despite Twitter’s ever-growing popularity, the NCAA wants to maintain a certain image and it appears that having Twitter run over the place isn’t to their liking.

I enjoy the great things that Twitter has to offer. Especially in my profession of information, Twitter is a great tool for me to keep up to date on all the important news. Even when athletes are on Twitter, they provide great insight into their lives.

But for Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, using his Twitter account to tell everyone about his divorce isn’t a great idea.

Yesterday, Sanders went onto to Twitter to tweet about domestic violence at home and even tweeted a photo (see above) of him filing police reports. The tweets have since been deleted but we still have the text from it.
