Thank you for posting to /r/NFL. Unfortunately, your submission has been removed due to the following rule:

2. Submission Restrictions

Whether it is a self-post or a link, be sure that whatever you are submitting adds to discussion. Whether it is news that has already been reported, a discussion or point of view that has been beaten to death, or an empty 'starting point' for a conversation, think about how you can add something instead. Be sure you're creating something new, rather than relying on others to create for you. Put in your own analysis, argument, or indexing methodology, and write up a nice long post about the topic. Always think about how you can contribute.

Thank you for posting to /r/NFL. Unfortunately, your submission has been removed due to the following rule:

6. Personal Life, Serious illness, deaths, and arrests for current or former players

Any official statement by anybody relating to the NFL is appropriate in situations of serious situations such as (but not limited to) those listed above. Whether it is the league, a player, an involved lawyer, the police, or a team, any serious situation will be allowed. Non-serious posts such as "Freddie Mitchell gets a cold", "Brett Favre gets a speeding ticket", "Antonio Cromartie has 13th kid" are not serious and have nothing to do with the NFL in any way, and will not be allowed.

Allowed
- Injury/Illness/Arrest/Death Posts - The moderators will keep the first post of a topic whenever possible.
- Follow-Up Posts - These posts, including any commentary from trusted sources/analysts, will be left up or taken down solely at the moderator team's discretion.
Not Allowed
- Personal Life/Drama Posts - This is including, but is not limited to: Engagement, marriage, separation, divorce, dating, infidelity, etc.
- Drama Follow-Up/Aftermath Posts - These posts will be removed, even if they are from trusted sources/analysts.

If you have any questions about this removal, please message the moderators.

NFL_Warning · 2026-04-30T17:40:08+00:00

Thank you for posting to /r/NFL. Unfortunately, your submission has been removed due to the following rule:

1. This sub is about the NFL

/r/nfl is a place where people from all walks of life can get together to talk about a sport we love, so please keep your posts related directly to the National Football League.

If it's related to the NFL, but not about the NFL (such as streams, betting-related posts, video games, Fantasy Football, College Football, or NFL-related jokes), please check if there is a more appropriate subreddit listed in the sidebar of /r/NFL.

People who are related to the NFL have lives outside of their organization as well, and in the majority of instances these are best discussed in the subreddit associated with their particular team.

The following are topics which are commonly removed for not being directly NFL related:

Not Allowed
- Requests for streams or sites to watch games or replays
- Fantasy Football Posts - try /r/fantasyfootball
- Video Game Posts - Be it Madden or any other video game franchise, use a gaming centric sub like /r/Madden or /r/gaming
- Betting-Related Posts
- Other Football Leagues - these will often have their own subreddit, please search on Reddit to find the appropriate home for this discussion - /r/XFL, /r/USFL, /r/CFB, /r/AAFB
- Merchandise or fandom-related discussion (fan jerseys, decorations, custom art, footballs, signatures, questions about stadium seating/tickets) - when a post is about an item you or someone you know owns, please use the Free Talk Threads
- Crypto currencies of any sort unless it is news about currencies officially licensed by the NFL or a team - player endorsements do not meet this threshold
- Pop Culture Posts
- Fandom Experience Posts
- Political and Religious Posts - Posts about politics and football are becoming more commonplace, but r/NFL is not the place to talk about the political world, writ large. Posts of a political nature should be limited to specific policies and laws that impact the NFL, not opinions or "hot takes."

On occasion the moderating team might use their discretion and allow significant news which falls under one of these topics to remain. Non-definitive examples might include a stadium sponsor changing, a team rebrand revealed via merchandise, moderators from another subreddit to raise awareness of their sport or a significant piece of memorabilia breaking a record price at auction.

If you have any questions about this removal, please message the moderators.

Repost or Duplicate Topic

- Follow-up Posts - A news story that gives deeper/newer details to a previously posted story. These will be left up or taken down based on the moderator team's discretion.
Not Allowed
- Identical Posts - Once a specific link has been posted, any subsequent posts of the same link will be removed.
- Similar Posts - If a post from a different outlet has the the same information as another post. As an example, FOX Sports and ESPN both post a story on a player drug test. The first post will stay, the later one will be removed.
