The social media service Twitter has won the rights to broadcast Thursday night U.S. National Football League (NFL) games. Twitter will live stream the 16 games online next season. The games will also be broadcast on television. National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell made the announcement Tuesday morning on Twitter. This fall Thursday Night Football will be streamed live...so fans will see more of this, Goodell tweeted. The league offered the games to many other companies, including Facebook, Amazon and Verizon. Verizon is in the last year of a sponsorship deal with the NFL. The league makes about $250 million dollars per year from the deal. The exact terms of the NFL deal with Twitter were not available. But, Twitter reportedly did not offer the most money of the bidders. Roger Goodell said there is a huge number of NFL related messages on Twitter during football games.
