The Detroit Lions have expressed deep concern over a previously released NFL Films video that was later removed from social media. The video, which highlighted suspended safety Brian Branch, was perceived as excessively critical by the team, leading to their public backlash. The Lions’ management and players have reportedly voiced their disapproval, emphasizing their belief that the footage unfairly portrayed the player.
According to sources close to the team, the video’s release and subsequent deletion have raised questions about the NFL Films’ editorial decisions. The team is now considering potential consequences for the production, which includes the possibility of legal action or a formal complaint to the league. Brian Branch, who was suspended for violating league policies, has not commented on the matter publicly. The situation highlights the growing sensitivity surrounding player discipline and media portrayal in the NFL.
