Tweet this: NFL Pro Bowlers to use kiosks on sidelines

January 26, 2012

Although NFL players are allowed to tweet during this year's pro bowl, there will be no celebratory smack tweeting in the end zone. Instead, the players must walk to one of the designated kiosks on the sidelines, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The players aren't allowed to carry mobile devices on the field or sidelines in any NFL games, however, the league has set up kiosks to allow tweeting in hopes of generating excitement around the game.

"I'm sure they will give the players a significant talking to of what they can and cannot say," said Wall Street Journal Reporter Matthew Futterman in an online interview with Market Watch.

The Pro Bowl is Jan. 29 in Hawaii.
