I think it was more because captain was approaching the players trying to get them to do it.

Not really a case of the No Fun League to me. They don't want players marketing products in a game which I can understand. If he was just randomly doing the Captain Morgan pose I doubt they would care.

Sounds to me like the NFL is trying to stick it to the retired players. With that being said......

Lehrman said that each time a player was caught on camera in the pose Captain Morgan planned to donate to the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, a nonprofit that helps retired NFL players.

The campaign was to be unveiled next week with donations of $10,000 during the regular season, $25,000 for the playoffs and $100,000 in the Super Bowl. The NFL banned the plan when it learned of it this week, notifying Gridiron Greats and Captain Morgan that it won't allow the pose during NFL games.

The ad campaign appeared to be designed to capitalize on the attention recently given to the plight of retired players and the criticism the league has received for its handling of their struggles.


Way to bite the bullet to make life at least a bit easier for your alumni NFL...

Why can't they just play football and not act like clowns?

Is that what Brent Celek was doing on Sunday Night when he got the penalty for the other guy lifting his leg up?

I was wondering what that was supposed to mean. I think its cool and good for retired players, but it opens up a pandoras box for other advertisers and it could get out of hand.
