According to multiple reports, the National Football League, which is accused of two fans that the league refused to allow the team to join the Blue Key, was hit by an anti-trust lawsuit.
Chicago Bears fans who built the Seattle Seahawks roots, Patrick Brown and Colin Vincent filed a 14-page complaint with New York, claiming that the league is curbing involvement between teams and players on social media sites. It's there.
“It's between the team and the fans that team meets fans on social media,” plaintiff's lawyer Thomas Burt told Front Office Sports. “The NFL does not have a legal right to inject themselves into that decision.”

Fans feel that they should not be confined to the platform, especially X, to interact with the team.
Fred Kirsch, vice president of content at Kraft Sports & Entertainment, recently stated on a “Patriot unfiltered” podcast that New England patriots are “not allowed.”

The NFL's decision to ban teams on Bluesky is a “financial issue” citing “published reports,” according to the lawsuit. The Sports Business Journal reported last month that the league hopes to have a paid partnership with Bluesky if teams are involved.
The NFL announced earlier this month that the teams were not permitted on the platform, but said no such announcements were made public or reported.
The NFL did not immediately respond to emails due to requests for comment.
