For wearing these:



quote:

When Forbes noticed that Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had been displaying the Under Armour logo on his helmet in the subtle form of the clips that hold on his visor, the NFL wasn't going to let that uniform violation slide without doing something.

And the infraction cost Newton $10,000. The cost of those clips at your local sporting goods store? Just $9.99. Ouch.

UA will probably not only pay the fine but send him a ton of those clips free with the understanding that they'll keep paying the fines.

People saying UA will pick up the fine, but Auburn actually will. that was a bonus they told cam.
"if you come to auburn we wont only pay you we will pay off any fine u get once you go pro."

Mike Vick wore socks that weren't approved by the NFL for an entire season in Atlanta and was fined every single week for it.

When does Terrell Pryor get fined for his UA clips?



When does RG3 get fined for his Oakley clips?



When do Tyran Mathieu and Patrick Peterson get fined for their UA clips?



When do Reuben Randle (UA) and Tony Carter (Oakley) get fined for their non-Nike clips?



When does Mike Vick get fined for his Oakley clips?



When does Kareem Jackson get fined for his UA clips?

I bet everyone follows with a "f&*# the NFL" response. But yet again the uniform guidelines are nothing new in the NFL, nothing new in any professional and some collegiate sports. There have been countless times where players have not obeyed this and have been fined. Cam is a moron for not paying attention to the rules. Oh, and I bet Under Armour pays it anyways, but this was something put in before Goodell, and it's not exclusive to the NFL. Also, RG3 was just fined too within the last year for a uniform violation....so wtf SCAM?
