Man loses Super Bowl access over Facebook post

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nbc-yahoo-sports/mad-dash--man-loses-super-bowl-access-over-facebook-post-161623329.html

The Super Bowl is one of the strictest sporting events in the world when it comes to security before, during, and after the game. An Arizona man named Russ Knight found that out the hard way when he excitedly posted a picture to Facebook of him with the credential that gave him access to this year's big game. Knight had been hired to work as assistant frequency coordinator for the game, but not long after posting his photo, the NFL called to tell him it was no longer valid and he was no longer going to the game. As part of the fine print with the pass, the NFL prohibits posting photos of it, as they could be used to create duplicates. So just like that, Knight lost his chance to attend one of greatest sporting events on the planet. It's got to sting, but Knight understands and said he's got no excuse.
