common sense and chad just dont go together

 

I understand there needs to be limits on what these guys can wear, but is there really any harm if it's team colors? All of these fines are ridiculous.

 

If he doesn't mind throwing money away like this I wish he'd throw some my way.

 

Sweet charity.

 

So freaking stupid...

 

A black chinstrap cost a guy $10K in the modern NFL?! Come on.

 

This ^^^

 

Fined more for a black chinstrap than an orange one? That's racist.

 

You silly joker.

I'm assuming it's because it's the second time this season, or because it's the regular season now?

Where's his tweet?

 

Yeah, probably second offence.

 

see MikeTSZ I'm not the only one that agrees that this is ridiculous

 

Still waiting for the tweet.

 

plain freaking stupid.

 

$10,000 fine for wearing the wrong color chin strap? Whatever!

 

that's a bigger fine than some players get for illegal hits.

 

Yup... Sad, isn't it?

 

Now what if it was a pink chin strap during an October game? would he get a fine?

this is dumb. Does the color of the chin strap really affect players?
