Ian Rapoport is one of the more familiar faces you'll see on the NFL Network. However, it seems like avid viewers might be missing the reporter for the next two weeks. Rapoport has been suspended by the NFL for violating certain league policies on social media.
Rapoport himself took to Twitter to announce that he will be “off air” until October 22 for violating the guidelines of the NFL Network.

Ian Rapoport did not specify which of his posts actually got him on the sidelines.
It was initially believed that the suspension might be due to certain reports on the unauthorized workout days held be Tennessee Titans players after they had to close off their team facilities.

Ian Rapoport has always done his best to look sharp for the camera, but now we can take comfort knowing that he keeps things clean all over.
In the grand scheme of things, this might have been the best case scenario for the Manscaped Lawn Mower brand. Instead of just getting one NFL reporter's audience, they got featured in a host of articles just like this one that reported on the matter at Ian Rapoport's expense.
As expected, fans chimed in on the manscaping fun as well.
