From Washington Post and being discussed on the rival sports talk station (subject to ban) in town this morning.
Redskins Spell Out Their Twitter Policy
The Redskins announced Sunday that media organizations covering the team can no longer use Twitter to report updates from the team's preseason practices.
"We, like other teams, are concerned about the type of information that's being reported during practice," said team spokesman Zack Bolno. He said the Redskins don't want sensitive information about injuries and strategy being shared during practice.
Since training camp began more than two weeks ago, reporters from several outlets have used Twitter to give fans practice reports in near real-time, reporting roster updates, injury news, commenting on plays and drills and even sharing photos.
The team's official web site and 980 AM, which is owned by Redskins owner Dan Snyder, are not subject to the ban, Bolno said.
