The National Football League does not want news organizations to place more than 45 seconds of NFL video content online each day. In the United States, the NFL has surpassed all of the other major sports leagues in terms of popularity. The league wants to capitalize on that as much as possible, to the detriment of news organizations that report on its games and players.

"There are a number of reasons for [barring videographers], but it's basically a content issue," Redskins spokesman Chris Helein said in the Post. "I won't hide . . . the fact that the NFL and everything that surrounds it is valuable content." "Because the billion dollars a year the league makes just isn't quite enough to keep dinner on the table," Foul Balls retorted.NFL Cracks Down On Web Video
