NFL Star Antonio Cromartie Fined $2500 Over a Tweet

August 4th, 2009 admin

The NFL, Twitter, and ESPN are in a really bizarre love triangle of sorts that seems to have reached its climax today. Last month we reported that the NFL will not allow in-game tweeting , earlier today we shared ESPN’s new self-serving twitter policy , and now in an ironic twist of news, ESPN is reporting that the Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie [ @crimetime31 ] was fined for $2,500 for a tweet. Cromartie, a local San Diego celebrity and Pro Bowler, has a private Twitter account, but he reportedly took to Twitter and bashed the food at the Chargers training camp.
