This is completely out of hand......:icon_sad:

 

None of them are really justified either IMO.

 

They get the personal foul penalty on the field and maybe ejected from the game if it doesn't stop and that should be it. Any further punishment should be by the team IF needed.

What a bunch of greedy bastards.:icon_frown:

 

The $25,000 fine for Dunta Robinson is a bit drastic...

 

There I fixed it for ya, no need to thank me. :icon_cool:

 

wow, thats out of hand

 

They want them to just be robots lol

 

I don't think that would have been counted as the Texans made the fine

 

Where is all this money going? It damned well better be going to support childrens football leagues or something along those lines because most of these fines are presented as being to 'keep the game team oriented and safe to set an example for children'.

 

Supposedly all fines go to 3 charities.

 

Should go to the retired NFLers who are crippled & maimed & what this business was built on. The same ones who were paid a few hundred/thousand a game & then let out to pasture...:icon_frown:

 

Godell will pass the $1million fines/week in late November
