I don't think the leagues, or more so teams in the leagues, look at this is a positive way to promote themselves. Look at what Kevin Love of the MN Timberwolves tweeted during the NBA draft. He completely undermined the 'Wolves GM (even though he's probably right to do so), and if you're the GM....is that what you want your players doing? No. Think of the kind of baloney Chad Johnson is going to start spewing once he becomes unhappy after the football season starts. It can undermine the team concept and everything a coach or GM is trying to establish. Every team has plenty of things that they want to keep in house and out of the media.....no matter how much we want to hear it.
Just wait....it will only be a matter of time before guys start getting fined for what the tweet or blog. Is that stifling growth, or keeping sports what they're supposed to be about in the first place.....competition.

It's not about stifling growth
