O/T NFL players getting fined for helmet vilolation

[maldorf]

I was surprised to read this today. Players in the NFL get fined for not having their chin strap fastened on their helmet. Article mentions one player having to pay $7500. Sounds like a seatbelt law for the football field. Crazy if you ask me.

well, NFL is under a lot of heat from former players who have come back, all suffering many concussions in their career and they all need some kind of assistance to just get by, its really sad.

The NFL has people that go around before the game and check unifoams to make sure that everything is tucked in placed correctly. If a player's uniform isn't on correctly according to NFL rules the player can be fined, they don't want anyone to stick out. Pretty funny but it really is the No Fun League
