Using A Mobile Phone While Playing Professional Sports
And we do mean "while playing". Found over at Gizmodo is this bit of news about an NFL player who celebrated a touchdown by calling someone via a mobile phone that had been hidden under the goalpost padding. Gizmodo wants to know who he was calling. I'm more curious how he could hear whoever he was calling through his helmet. Maybe it was one of those new bone rattling phones.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
