Fans bash NFL for taking down videos showing penalties on Eagles’ Tush Push
It is folly to try to delete something from the Internet. No matter the message or video, it always seems to live on, even if the original post is deleted.
This is worth noting because NFL fans noted something unusual happened Monday, one day after the Chiefs’ 20-17 loss to the Eagles. Philly’s Tush Push (or Brotherly Shove) has been a hot topic since videos showed at least two Philadelphia offensive linemen moving before the snap on the play against the Chiefs.
Fans widely shared those videos Sunday and Monday, but many of them were taken down later with this message: “This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner.”
Odd, right? NFL videos are widely shared by fans and there rarely are copyright issues. Was this the work of Fox Sports, which broadcasted Sunday’s game? Or was it the NFL trying to stop the talk of the obvious penalties that were not called when the Eagles ran the Tush Push against the Chiefs?
Most social-media users took aim at the NFL, and they were disgusted by what they saw as the league trying to protect the Eagles and/or game officials. Here is a small sample of what those fans were saying on X.
Despite the efforts to remove the videos, they remain out there on social media. Here is one example.
