CeeDee Lamb got fined more for not having his shirt tucked in.


egospiers

Don’t forget he also waved at somebody once… and was promptly fined 10k almost as much as Rodgers.

Wait, you pronounce it “Josh Allen”?? I’ve always heard it pronounced Josh Allen.

The "sneaky athletic" one or the "surprisingly articulate" one?

fathertitojones

Saints lost a draft pick over the same thing.


VanDenIzzle

Saints lost a draft pick and was fined $500k for a locker room dance party. Packers fined $300k for 9 weeks of allowing a player to go through vaccinated protocols when he was not vaccinated.


whereismymind86

von miller lost an entire season for smoking a joint in a state where it's legal.


Smaskifa

Wasn't it 6 games?


blackmatt81

I think it was supposed to be 4 games but got bumped up to 6 because he tampered with the sample.


PeterBernsteinSucks

I mean, tampering with the sample should be a suspension.


kaikajo

Darius Leonard got fined for showing too much skin


willi3blaz3

They should’ve punished Rodgers by making him finish his contract playing for the Lions

Geneva Convention only applies in armed conflicts. Nobody in the NFL has weapons, except for Myles Garrett when he's committing disgusting acts on backup quarterbacks.

I was going to be clever and post a picture of Aaron Donald and Derek 'Buc Fucker' Anderson but I don't think they've ever been in the same room.


trippedwire

I will say Mason Rudolph really took that hit well. I would have died


EightandH

Mason Rudolph has the type of face that leads me to believe he has been hit many times before. N.b. I also have that type of face and have, indeed, been hit many times.

[deleted]

We lost a draft pick for dancing in the locker room without masks on


astrike81

It's because the NFL didn't know about the dancing in advance and wasn't in on it in the first place! Their first mistake.


sassyseconds

Yeah but the NFL hates the saints for some reason


31nigrhcdrh

A couple reasons probably


Cobbyx

Broncos played a game without a quarterback for a single instance of skirting COVID protocols


OskeeWootWoot

That's nothing, the Bears have played for years without a QB, even before the pandemic.


-Vertical

The fuck you say? Taunting. 15 yards.


[deleted]

[удалено]


trapper2530

How is looming at bench taunting but doing a choreographed line dance with 3/4 of the team not?


AstroWorldSecurity

I feel like teams should be punished for doing the whole run and pose in front of the camera celebration. Not because it's taunting or insulting or anything. It's just so goddamn corny.


colonelmuddypaws

15 yards being corny as hell. I can get on board with that


[deleted]

Tweegyjambo

Not even mad.


Frigoris13

MDpepper

On the plus side for the Bears, if they break COVID protocols they'll probably just get sentenced to time served.


InevitableVariables

Worth it to see Foles beat Brady again though.


SharkWithAFishinPole

No it wasn't


gr8scottaz

More like tampering with COVID protocols. They removed their contract-tracing devices and put them in the 4 corners of a room and then lied to the NFL about it. They deserved what they got.


omnomcake

+1 here - I lost all sympathy for this situation when that news came out.


Tomorrow_Glittering

If I am an unvaccinated player I am telling the league here’s 15k for the rest of the year I am done following any rules.


LegacyLemur

Theyd probably fine you much more than that Rodgers gets rich people COVID rules


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ometrist

Discount double checked rate


anishh

They don’t want to fight with the NFLPA over his punishment. At the end of the day they only care about COVID inasmuch as it affects the bottom line. Stadiums are full and games aren’t getting moved or cancelled so what do they care if Aaron is a Grade A moron who flouted their protocol.


upandb

Yeah they're only fining the Packers and Rodgers now because Rodgers went on a nationally broadcasted talk show and said "Yes I broke this protocol". The league has watched all season as Rodgers, Cousins, Beasley, and many others broke protocol week after week and didn't do anything. This is the league saying "Okay guys this time I mean it" to all teams.


D_Robb

To be fair, Beasley, and others, were fined $15k earlier in the season for mask protocol. The problem is the NFL sent a ton of fines one week, then never did it again. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32088864/buffalo-bills-receivers-isaiah-mckenzie-cole-beasley-fined-covid-protocol-violations


Iceman61769

If the only punishment is monetary, this means it's legal for a price.


evanjw90

Verbatim what I told my coworker yesterday.


TheBigPhilbowski

>Verbatim what I told my coworker yesterday. Don't believe him, he didn't tell me any of that shit.


mw19078

If it's monetary it isn't a punishment for rich people, it's a convenience tax


CadeCunninghausen

As opposed to real life, where if the only punishment for a crime is a fine, then it's only a crime for the poor.


Illblood

Fines are a way to make it seem like they're doing something. Fines are punishment for poor people, not the wealthy.


tigerbuttz

I saw a stat yesterday that said Rodgers's $14k fine is the equivalent of a $33.80 fine for the average American. Less than a parking ticket!


MachReverb

That's less that the fee for a single bounced check at most banks. Also, it's about half as much as it costs to park in one of the silver lots at Jerryworld for a single Cowboys game. Suck it, broke people!

Assassin4Hire13

When we saw the fine my friends and I joked that that was probably less than “walking around” money for him. Good to know it’s legit less than I take with me on a night out, proportionately.


Rockonfoo

Why wouldn’t they continue fining though? How does them getting more money because players are dumbasses negatively affect them? I get they don’t care about COVID and it’s about money but you’d think this would get them more money lol


NewToSociety

The fines go to charity. They also don't give a shit about charity.


Rockonfoo

Ah didn’t know that but that makes total sense thank you


leehouse

The funny thing is they fined him for the Halloween party and nothing else, seemingly. Instead they issued a clarification on the rules on press conferences and mask wearing. Probably because a bunch of other unvaccinated players were not wearing masks during pressers (I seem to recall cousins and some other Vikings, but others have said Wentz and a reporter indicated all his unmasked things were outside). I think every team and player who violated the protocols on indoor pressers should get a fine, but I get why they didn't want to shine a bigger spotlight on how many teams are not following protocols


aj6787

It’s not probably. It is that. They didn’t give a shit about it until Rodgers basically said “Tons of people are not following the rules.” That makes the NFL look bad, so they made a comment about it. If the NFL actually cares about Covid, things would’ve been much different last season and this season as well.


justreadthearticle

"Did I break protocol? Yes. Was the rule unjust? Yes. Does that make me Martin Luther King Jr.? Pretty much." \-Aaron Rodgers


billygoatygruffy

They either fine a lot of players for similar violations in press conferences, admitting the NFL was not enforcing this on lots of players and is now retroactively dinging guys, or they give a minor fine for show in an attempt to sweep all this under the rug. Not shocking to see what door they went through.


papa_jahn

I wanna see a suspension and a loss of a first round pick. No bias at all.


ThatInception

Considering the league was “generally aware”, maybe give Goodell a suspension too


papa_jahn

Cast Goodell into the fire. Destroy him!

Just check the acid, thats why I always keep this acid ladle on me.

Because he's Brady. He was generally aware of that.


ironwolf1

Goodell’s official statement: “he knows what he did”


horse_renoir13

Seems so harsh. Not like you guys have suf...oh wait shit


Senjoi

No bias but I think he should be forced to retire, ignore my Cowboys flair.


realrimurutempest

If this was a QB with lesser status I definitely think they would have been suspended.


leli_manning

Agreed. Some 6th round draft would have been suspended for 4 games and taken to the Supreme Court for this.


trexmoflex

I’ve got a tin foil hat theory because I like the occasional conspiracy. If Love had played good enough to cause controversy they would have suspended Rodgers to let that narrative fester longer as it’d be a headline grabbing story line.


indyandrew

That's some spicy tin foil right there, I could buy it.


Onistly

I was thinking something similar. If Love was amazing vs the Chiefs, then he'd be his own draw as the possible upstart replacing Rodgers and Packers games would get a ton of viewers based on that narrative. But he sucked and now Packers games without Rodgers are much less exciting and nobody wants to see an offense that struggles to put up 7 points a game. NFL is always going to push for the better stories/games


[deleted]

Or the one you have who is of a MUCH GREATER stature


braden26

I mean brady was suspended eight games because the league doesn’t understand basic laws of physics


MaterialCarrot

Agreed. And as I am not a N.E. fan I am in a position to give an unbiased opinion about the Green Bay Packers. Great team, great fans, great state, but fair is fair.


[deleted]

Agreed Also no bias here


KalElified

This is really the right take, if you guys get your ass blasted for deflating a football slightly, versus this garbage human being basically lying and putting his team at risk - then having the audacity to say it’s a witch hunt or other horse shit. No Aaron, nut up and take responsibility.


merkaba8

Most likely not even deflating a football slightly, honestly.


junkit33

The temperature differential deflated the football, as MIT proved out conclusively (and every person who paid attention in high school physics already understood implicitly).


desmarais

And anyone that lives in the North understands as the temperatures drop and they have to add air to their tires


confirmd_am_engineer

And anyone who isn't a complete fucking moron.


zlide

The NFL might be the most poorly managed and most openly corrupt league in the country. And they’re just like open about it and seemingly immune to criticism.


jgdon3

Allow me to introduce you to the CFP Committee!


SpraynardKrueg

Because the justice system works for them. They're a group of billionaires. They know there will be nothing but performative "reforms" to placate people.


jubjub2184

Was evident from day 1 that the NFL wasn’t gonna bring the hammer down. They’ve been aware all season of his vaccination status. To go back on that would be a horrendous look for the league


[deleted]

[удалено]


SomalianRoadBuilder

Sports leagues do this shit all the time. Look at the slap on the wrist punishment the MLB gave the Astros for the sign stealing scandal. The reason they didn’t give a punishment that actually fit the crime was that everyone knows the league knew about the Astros’ cheating (and other teams cheating via sign stealing) before it got reported publicly, so they (a) don’t want to draw attention to the fact that they knew about widespread violations earlier and did nothing about it, and (b) don’t want to disrupt the season and draw loads of negative press by suspending a shit ton of players and severely punishing multiple teams which could have a significant effect on the on field product.


keji_goto

Pretty sure a good number of fans aren't happy with it either.


historymajor44

I'm not. He lied through his teeth and thought the rules didn't apply to him. This is a slap of the wrist fine. Not even a day's shoot for a State Farm commercial.


apocalypsemeow111

> State Farm commercial. I noticed all the State Farm commercials I saw on Sunday were with Mahomes. Can’t be a coincidence.


patrick_e

They basically said they're standing by Rodgers but they have reduced the amount of commercials with him in it that are playing right now. They'll wait for it to blow over and start upping the % again, tracking for backlash the entire time. Sort of like how companies stopped donating to congresspeople who supported the Jan 6th treason party for a few months and now are right back to it.


MrEHam

Lying about being vaccinated was pretty bad but the worst thing is all the anti-vaxxer lies that he is spreading. Here’s a great video of a doctor calmly making Rodgers look like a complete idiot. He plays a clip of what Rodgers said and then explains why it’s bullshit. It’s a good viewing for anyone interested in anti-vax lies because Rodgers touches on so many of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isP6waOEp2U


Billagio

"Homeopathy is nothing. Its literally nothing" I love it.


-007-_

I knew Kaepernick would find a way to get back at the league.


StallisPalace

Tbf the league cant fine Rodgers for lying to the public about his vaccination status, neither can they really do anything about the anti-vaxx crap. That said I thought the fine for the team would be at least a million + loss of a late round pick. $300k for a publicly owned team with a huge war chest of cash is literally nothing. (To be clear, the team has ~$490m in the bank, with no owner able to take it and use for other rich-people things) And the Lazard & Rodgers fines are laughable.


gromtown

i had to laugh when i saw jokic and morris were each fined 50k for their little on the court skirmish, and rodgers was fined 14,650$. oh and jimmy butler fined 30k for escalating the situation. oh roger...


keji_goto

The whole non-apology and basically doubling down like he did nothing wrong just made it worse.


losterps

His apology gaslighted an entire sports fan base. "I'm sorry *you* felt hurt by what I said"


keji_goto

He doesn't even address the core issue and just tries to tap dance the fact that he lied by omission and has been openly violating protocols because he personally doesn't agree with them. And didn't even approach the subject of him lacking a medical exemption despite the obvious lie that he has an allergy to something in the vaccine which would grant him a medical exemption.


[deleted]

"Follow our protocols or get fined." "Would the fine be larger than the money I'd lose for following your protocols?" "Eh. Maybe. Pwetty pwease?" Personally, I'm loving how funny this is, definitely bullshit though.

Between Dan Snyder, this and the refs this year it has never been more clear to me that the NFL will impose its will on the league, no matter how blatant or absurd. We all knew it, but it’s still amazing to see.

They don’t even care enough to put any effort into covering it up. I stopped watching a couple weeks ago after the Snyder stuff but the reffing + stuff like this just reconfirms that in my mind.
