The No Fun League is at it again.
The NFL reportedly has told several players on the Miami Dolphins that they can’t participate in a $94 buy-in poker tournament Tuesday at the Seminole Casino in Coconut Creek. AJ Francis, Jason Fox and Jordan Cameron all had agreed to play and were featured on an advertisement for the event.
According to TMZ, the NFL called each player and said their participation wasn’t permissible.
Francis took to his Twitter to apologize for not being able to play.
Sorry anybody who wanted to come to the Poker Tournament tomorrow and play with Dolphins players… Can't go anymore.

The decision from the NFL comes just days after the league told Tony Romo that he couldn’t run a fantasy football convention in Las Vegas.
According to Dead Spin, Romo compared the NFL to a jaded teenager.
“It’s like when you’re in high school and you don’t get invited to the party, it makes you feel bad,” Romo told ESPN. “If they really wanted to just be a part of it, all they had to do was call and ask."
