Report: Ian Rapoport suspended by NFL Network after sharing Manscaped ad on Instagram



Excerpt:

Ian Rapoport suspended until Oct. 22

It’s unclear whether Rapoport will be allowed to tweet during his suspension. Rapoport’s post only mentioned that he would not appear on NFL Network until Oct. 22, but he hasn’t tweeted since announcing his suspension.

If Rapoport is unable to tweet, that could have an impact on fantasy football players. Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter are among the NFL insiders who send out injury updates every Saturday evening during the football season. Fantasy managers looking to get confirmation on whether a key player is out Sunday may have to wait longer than usual if Rapoport’s suspension extends to Twitter.

Should be Schefter reporting this no? LOL

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Cool

Ian Rapoport does have the perfect name for what he does. His name is like a combination of rapport and reporting.

 

[Manster]

Seems perfect for 2020

 

[travdogg]

Seems like an overreaction. Wouldn't just a "whoops, sorry" and a delete be more than enough? What is the big deal?

 

[BINGBING]

Manscaped is wasting a lot of money of all these ads on fantasy football podcast.  We all skip right past them, and all guys that are deep into dynasty have a huge jungle that will never stand for deforestation.

The NFL Network is part of the NFL. The NFL really, really, really likes money. They aren't going to stand for one of their employees shilling for a product without them vetting it and/or getting a cut. 

 

[NotSmart]

Manscaping is serious business.

I thought it was a brilliant amalgamation of rapper and port.

Worth noting: the news has generated has been worth every penny this company spent on Ian Rappport. I heard it on the radio earlier today, i’ve now seen a dozen articles about it. . 
 

far more national exposure than they would have ever received without the controversy

Pun intended?

 

[scothawk]

They should have cut him. 

 

[shades]

Rumor is that the real reason is that he tweeted shots of the Titans illegal practices. Those tweets are deleted too. 

 

[joey]

Boy, this is a real kick in the crotch.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Boy, this is a real kick in the crotch.

Yes, this one cuts deep.

 

[NotSmart]

A story like this doesn't just affect industry insiders, it affects the entire public region.

 

[cockroach]

Total bush league.  

 

[G-King]

A story like this doesn't just affect industry insiders, it affects the entire public region.

More like PUBIC region.

 

[Osaurus]

Hedge your bets on his suspension ending sooner than expected.

Brian Urlacher and Vitamin Water did this a long while back during the 2006 SB. 

 

[ConstruxBoy]

So the guy who reported the illegal team activity is being punished more than the team that acted illegally?

Peak NFL. 

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Guy put himself in a hairy situation.

 

[joey]

Taint nothin' wrong with what Rapoport did, imo. 

 

[Deamon]

Should let BALD-DINGER replace him.

 

[Faust]

The NFL Network could still decide to trim him from their payroll.

 

[dickey moe]

That's what he gets for mansplaining manscaping.
