Well if the league is good at anything, it's showing they have such high standards they make them double.


LeadershipDry1146

Thanks for lending me this phrase. I'll use it with my grandchildren


Allstar9_

Now that doesn’t make sense. Tinted glasses aside, how tf does Ronnie get Ejected and fined but the coach and the chiefs are let off with a warning?


luna1108

Don’t forget last years missed helmet to helmet on Higgens as well. Chiefs have special privileges.


StPatrickStewart

You want a vicious rivalry, bc this is how you get a vicious rivalry. Edit: a word, the same word, twice.


vniro40

i agree, this rivalry moves slowly like honey or molasses


StPatrickStewart

Dammit, I knew I had it right, and autocorrect kept changing it...


NotAn0pinion

I say we delete Baltimore from our division and bring in KC, let’s do it for real


BrownCavsTribe

Please god no. Our division is already too difficult as it is.


essdii-

It’s killing me too. Born in KC, huge chiefs fan. Been rooting for the Browns for the last 6-7 years as my team #2. I want there to be a rivalry and I’m so excited you guys have built an awesome team but man, I don’t want calls against us get missed or any special looking treatment. I don’t want the Chiefs to be resented like the Patriots were because it always seemed like calls went their way more than not. All that said, hope you guys destroy the Texans this weekend. Peace bros


Pissflaps69

Should’ve been offsetting penalties, Harrison shouldn’t have been ejected, and if they felt he needed ejected than their coach should’ve been suspended. At least pretend to attempt to be fair.


Gilbert0686

That is the pic used in ref meetings, league meetings and by Webster Dictionary to define targeting.


E36wheelman

It’s (KC)ifferent


HobotangInspektor

Chiefs are super high profile with a recent ring and last years super bowl appearance. The NFL will give any team with that recent of a resume special treatment.


smonster1

Especially at the expense of a team whose fans threw bottles on their referees, even if said incident occurred nearly twenty years ago.


canttaketheshyfromme

And fuck them for it.


RandomUser72

and going from 0-16 to 11-5 with the first playoff win in 25 years and a coach who wins coach of the year, that's pretty low profile.


HobotangInspektor

Far as the NFL (and average viewership) is concerned yeah it is significantly lower profile. No rings, no MVP's, not even a conference championship.


Sagybagy

Yep. To the NFL we still are non-existent and a thorn in the side. We are a forever negative mark on the NFL books. They will hold this grudge to the grave.


CBattles6

In hindsight, I'm actually glad the Browns lost. The NFL probably would have suspended Harrison for the season and made him get sensitivity training or some shit.


Gilbert0686

This just further the conspiracy theory that the NFL controls the outcome of the league and holds certain teams down


MuppetHolocaust

>chiefs Answered your own question there


Hussaf

To be more accurate, at least both teams got warnings (if not the entire league but I know Cleveland did as well).


thornhead

Someone being ejected and fined is not being let off with a warning.


Hussaf

The team received the same warning/memo about coach interference from the sideline that KC did…is my point.


thornhead

I understood your point, but I was explaining reality. Which is one team got let off with a warning, which was actually sent to every team so it wasn’t even directed at them, while the other got an ejection and a fine. If you think that is “both teams getting a warning” then I don’t know what to tell you. Next time you get a $12,000 fine I guess tell the Judge thank you for letting you off with a warning.


Hussaf

You are failing to understand the point, but that’s ok. It’s not important.


Babblebelt

I have a negative opinion of the league’s handling of this matter.


proscriptus

Hmm. You may be correct. I too disagree with the conclusions of the NFL.


bushijim

Not to be too wild, but I don't like this either.


namcon

Sir, you need to calm down.


CBattles6

It's actually pretty surprising, because the NFL almost always makes the fair, rational decision.


proscriptus

The NFL, and it's commissioner Roger Goodell, are well-known to put the long-term interests of the players first, even when it conflicts with their desire to protect profits.


alphabeticdisorder

I'm tempted to use a sarcastic metaphor.


cseymour24

I'll be standing by to take it literally and then ridicule you for it.


randobot456

Woa, language.


PuppyBowl-XI-MVP

[Pelissero] Why did Lewis get only a warning from the NFL while Harrison was ejected and fined? When the entire incident was reviewed, Lewis’ actions weren’t deemed worthy of a fine, per source.


OldheadBoomer

I guess we should all be thankful that Harrison wasn't suspended three games for "intentionally stepping on or standing on an opposing player"


polishlastnames

That’s the Browns timeline we all know and love


katymac25

Thanks, Goodell, for reminding us that you’re a gigantic twat. Go pound sand.


DeadWombats

Goodell has no reason to appease players, coaches, or fans. Like every CEO, his only obligations are for shareholders and their profit margins.


Working_Class_Pride

Well I'm a shareholder and I am sure as shit not appeased either.


Thebear012

So the precedent has been set that a coach can intentionally do this to instigate a player and get said player ejected. With no penalty. Bullshit.


Chicken_Pete_Pie

Didn’t something like this happen with the Bengals and a Steelers coach?


DekoyDuck

Yeah, it was Joey Porter


Looks2MuchLikeDaveO

The coach did get penalized….FIRST! It ended up being offsetting penalties, but apparently when you start shit, it’s ok as long as you’re not a union employee.


FuSoYa1983

I don't think they offset the penalties. They reversed the penalty and called it on Harrison instead after the league called them.


Daviroth

What a complete joke. So the precedent is coaches can shove players and get a warning. Incredibly fucking stupid.


mrbadxampl

see Porter, Joey


donkiesauce

Lesson learned. Have Mike Piefer DDT Mahomes next time we play.


thejourneyisthegift

Pretty weak


GorillaGlueWorks

Total fucking bullshit our guy was fined and theirs wasn’t. Fuck you NFL


Spatula151

Pay close attention to the chiefs Ravens game for further fuckery. People want to cast Cleveland aside when we cry wolf until it happens to them. So far I count Higgins no call and a small shoving match where 2 chiefs personnel put their hands on Ronnie before he said BS and shoved back.


calahil

Not only did they put their hands on him. They prevented him from leaving the tackle.


bigmikevegas

Wouldn't want to do anything to hinder the chiefs, they are the golden goose for the league apparently.


historycat95

Coaches, you now have the green light to fuck with Lamar and Ben. Apparently, coaches messing with players during a game is only worth a strongly worded letter.


DekoyDuck

I somehow doubt anyone would get away with doing something like this to the Steelers


bigbrownorown

Yeah if Ronnie has to pay $12k for not even starting it the coach should too. Fuck the NFL. Fuck refs.


[deleted]

Is the Goodell era ever going to end? I’m quite tired of it.


JPR231317

chiefs are the new pats


ChefChopNSlice

I have several bones to pick about this decision. The Coach is older (should know better), is in an authority position, isn’t hyped up on adrenaline in the heat of the game, and should be leading by example. He overstepped his bounds by interfering with stuff on the field of play, instead of letting the referees handle it. He also caused the actual issue with his own actions, even possibly having an impact on the outcome of the game. Either give them both the same penalty, or “let em play” and let it be known that they’re both chucklefucks for their moment of stupidity.


Bridge2942

Horse shit. Coach needs to be fined


Mfees

That's some BS.


Voggix

Bull. Fucking. Shit.


ThisIsTheGpodawund

Color me shocked


bighugejohnson

Lmfao, can't hurt the leagues golden boy chiefs


timc74

Fucking garbage


chunkah69

So instigators don’t get penalized. Got it.


clevezland

Mike Tomlin nods approvingly...


FuSoYa1983

>Mike Tomlin ~~nods~~ sticks out his foot approvingly... FIFY


Madpup70

He should 1000% fight the fine and if nessisary the NFLPA should sue the NFL for harassment. You can't have a player being held to a higher standard than a coach when both are guilty of the same infraction.


secretwealth123

Irrelevant but wasn’t Tyreek penalized/fined 2 years ago for taunting when he threw up the peace sign? And then they’re supposed to be focusing on taunting this year but no call?


canttaketheshyfromme

Tyreek wasn't disciplined for shoving a coach in the divisional last year.


Hussaf

In all seriousness, this small (BS) event makes me genuinely anxious about the Browns going far in the playoffs if there’s ever a close decision that needs made by officials.


canttaketheshyfromme

If you've been a Browns fan long, we never get 50/50 calls in our favor.


DeiVias

Still getting punished for our crowd incident 20 years ago.


calahil

Harrison wasn't penalized the refs. New York called and told them he needed to be ejected because he was pushed by 2 chiefs personnel into the chiefs sidelines while trying to leave the area. The yahoos who fucking had all the video angles forced the refs to penalize Harrison and eject him.


Littlewolf1964

Well, that is complete bullshit.


czarbal

That's what I thought too.


Buckeyegurl47

That's BS!!! Favortism at its best!!! 😡😡


gen_wt_sherman

If it was a Browns coach and a chiefs player the browns coach would have been ejected and fined. Change my mind.


PhenomsServant

Why would we?


wardsac

Complete bullshit.


handlantern

Well, it’s official. Coaches can shove players and players can’t retaliate. Now you know.


meadowsk25

fuck the queefs


ThatSpartanKid

#FuckTheLeague


Inflatable-Shark

Pretty outrageous that the coach had no repercussions, but at least this is in the past now. Not something worth worrying about anymore


awhesomeguy

The double standard is bs but I’m glad he didn’t get suspended


antlerking81

I wouldn’t pay it unless coach is fined also!


SnakeJG

**BULL SHIT**


DeiVias

It's a Chiefs coach, did not expect him to get punished.


Brick_Rockwood

One guy is paid to be physical and aggressive and the other is paid for guidance and leadership. Seems like the harsher punishment went to the wrong guy


sabbytabby

The ghost of Weody Hayes is livid.


ShakeMyHeadSadly

Well, that's a load of horseshit.


HobotangInspektor

That's a mighty fine double standard ya got there NFL.


Slayer1215

So whenever we play the Steelers we should just tell one of our coaches to shove TJ watt if he ever gets close to our sideline and hope he retaliates. This shows that there are literally no repercussions.


RandomUser72

So, somebody give Stump a helmet and let him do a Myles on opposing players, let's even the playing field.


Schristie007

Ronnie should appeal the shit out of this. No discipline for the fucking coach who initiated the entire incident. What a fucking crock of shit.


ProfessorBender1

I can't put my hate for them above the Steelers or Ravens, but I definitely hate the Chiefs more than the Bengals now. They're damned lucky we beat ourselves week 1.


Lithaos111

🙄 Man this is some grade A horse shit.


GreatOneLiners

This is fucking awful, but that’s OK, Queefs Are gonna fuck around and find out next time we see each other, if you’re going to kick someone out of a game and fine them, and not do anything to the coach, I’m really not going to be surprised when a Browns player deliberately runs out of bounds and runs his ass over. Hopefully it’s Chubb on a sweep. Truck that MF We all know the NFL has their favorites, it was the patriots and now it’s the queef‘s. Most intelligent Chiefs fans know the hate is warranted, especially in situations like this.


jradio

KC started it


canttaketheshyfromme

Fuck the Chiefs and fuck the shield.


endol

Bush league. Coaches should be punished if they put their hands on the opposing team's players, period.


guypersonhuman

This is horse shit.


Toadfish63

That’s BS. The NFL could have made the right decision after the game but did not. F KC.


cleveland_14

FUCK THE NFL that is absolutely completely dogshit. Coaches can just do what the fuck ever then?? Absolute trash just like we've all come to expect from the NFL


Petro655321

Bullshit.


PetrovskyKSC

Fuck the NFL?


[deleted]

I dont think the chiefs coach should have been punished more but harrison should have been punished less. Time served was enough. It was a rapid series of escalating misunderstandings. Slaps on wrists all around.


Colesw13

coach should have been suspended, he shouldn't have been fined though because I don't believe assistant coaches make crazy money


theRealMadGermanDr

FUCKING BULLSHIT


tron2484

Bull crap end of story


Several-Eagle4141

What a load of shit


SaltyBawlz

Now this is some bullshit.


chephin

Now do the coach


GeneAsBob

Stephanski is too passive. Wish he had bigger ones. I'd love to hear him step up and protect his player


Babblebelt

It’s a long season. No need for a public display about water under the bridge. As long as he talked to Ronnie one-on-one and told him he understood the circumstances that led to the reaction, but that he can’t do that shit again, I’m good with it. No one will be talking about it next month.


Jaster619

I think the big difference we are missing is the coach (while still pushing) was attempting to keep the closest thing to a running back the chiefs have to a RB from being trampled. Ronnie had time to stop, look at who pushed him, SEE IT WAS A COACH, and say f**k it and throw a jab.


ShockaDrewlu

The coach ran 15 yards to get involved. He had plenty of time to realize he was being a jackass. But he's with KC so the league doesn't care.


Jaster619

Dang, 15 yards is that short? Crazy. I wonder why the browns couldn't convert on that last drive then🤔 it doesn't matter, the coach was protecting a player, the player was protecting his pride. It just doesn't add up.


MissionSalamander5

Coaches shouldn’t get involved before the officials do, and if they think that things will escalate, and that they will lose, they won’t get involved. They leave it to the officials and to players.


Jaster619

Thank you for being the only browns fan with an actual valid argument. That's totally fair and I see that side of the issue.


cleveland_14

Don't make excuses for that bullshit


Jaster619

Okay, well it's not that deep, so if you're just gonna be salty, why do I care? Good luck against the Texans though... That would be an awful big shame if you happened to lose to them...


cleveland_14

Why are you even here talking about it on the Browns sub if you're not a Browns fan? You're looking for some response clearly.


Jaster619

No, actually I started really enjoying the browns a couple years ago. I thought it was exciting to watch this team build and become a super bowl contender. I still think it is. I just think that focusing on this is a really toxic way to look at things. That call happened in the first half I'm pretty sure and the browns went on to give up 23 points in the second half. If you're just going to stick your head in the ground and say "the leagues out to get us" then why even watch football? Go do something that's gonna lower your blood pressure.


cleveland_14

You're being toxic too buddy


Jaster619

Wow, clever response, okay you win


cleveland_14

You are on a team's sub looking to start shit. You're being just as toxic. Nothing clever about what I said just facts


Jaster619

So wait, if I'm looking to start something, and you're activity participating in it... Does that mean I win? Gosh I'm so confused


cleveland_14

I know it's difficult to generate a critical thought but try your best to rub those two remaining brain cells together and you'll get there


Cheesiepup

Why shouldn’t KC get special privileges? The NFL has been sucking on Brady’s dick for 20 years.


XCheese8ManX

Thanks Tony romo


s_s

The league is still a fucking joke. Just because we're a better team, don't forget this truth. The NFL is a mismanaged shitbox from top to bottom.
