re: The NFL fined Zeke $13k for putting $21 in Salvation Army kettle

I'm tired of people breaking the rules and then complaining when there are consequences.

Yes, it seems petty that they are fining him for it, but if they don't enforce the rules all the time then the rules are meaningless.

And it's not even the breaking of the rule I care about... it's the audacity to be shocked that there is a consequence for it.

It's a stupid rule...like your post.

Also good sense and human decency still exist and when you take a step back and look at the net result here (a $13k fine for a $21 donation) it looks fricking ridiculous. This is when zero tolerance doesn’t make sense and does more harm than good.

ETA: they need to look at how much giving Zeke has generated for the SA and see if keeping him from doing this makes sense. They are willing to make exceptions to rules, exhibit A: the Lambeau leap.

Christ on a cracker, they literally have a huge bucket on the field.

some rules should be broken, or in this case, simply ignored. it's a bull shite fine and you should know it.

Sorry sir even though you are speeding because your wife is about pop out a baby in your back seat doesn't make it acceptable. I'm still going to need to write you a ticket so just sit still while I run your license. Rules are rules
