Should be a loss of a pick, money fine for a billionaire is pennies. Is that really going to make them scared?

$100k and remedial training...that'll really teach them to defy protocols.

Might as well send them to timeout.

More teams should do this if the penalty is only $100K.

Risk a mans health and get fined 100k. Me "man of the year" and try to hurt someone get fined nothing

Let some air out the balls and it's a shot storm

Nah. The NFL hates Sean Payton and the Saints. You didn't know that? Would be a $2 million fine, loss of all draft picks for 5 years, and Sean Payton has to retire.

apparently there's a max for this penalty... and the Seahawks didn't even get that

Original Story; ESPN

quote:

The Seahawks can be fined up to $150,000, although it's unclear what their penalty will be. The NFL announced Friday that it was conducting a "thorough review" of the situation.

They should change the rule to $1 million and loss of a draft pick. Then, and only then, teams will start following the concussion protocol

How much did the non-partisan NFL neurologists get fined?

Let me give you some perspective.

The Seahawks are valued at $2.4 billion.

A $100,000 fine to them is the mathematical equivalent of a $20.83 fine to someone worth $500,000.

20 fricking dollars. To someone who is worth 500k.

If you were worth, say a more common $100k, this would be a $4.17 fine.

A drop in the bucket

Should lose draft picks. That was embarrassing

no team wants the perception they aren't protecting their player's best interest regarding their health and well being.

You gotta be shitting me. Supposedly deflating balls cost the Pats a first round pick.
