Why NFL is not stopping any Vrabel-Russini content
According to Front Office Sports, the league ‘is adopting a strictly hand-off approach’.
“The league is not reviewing videos in advance. Instead, clubs will continue to control the content of their memes and videos from start to finish. The young, aggressive, social media wags at all 32 clubs will be free to mock Vrabel and the Patriots if they wish.”
NFL teams get a lawsuit warning
While Roger Goodell’s office might be ok with the Russini and Vrabel jokes, Barstool Sports owner and avid Patriots fan Dave Portnoy is not.
“Let me say this loud and clear. I will be monitoring all schedule releases and anybody who makes a joke about this disgusting controversy will be put on my list and face potential legal action. You’ve been warned,” he wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
