Nothing.

The NFL Man of the Year nominee wasn’t fined despite intentionally trying to take out Brandon Linder‘s knees


quote:

The NFL handed out a lot of fines in the aftermath of Sunday's Seahawks-Jaguars game, but one person who didn't get punished was Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett.

The melee between the two teams started when Bennett appeared to take a shot at the knees of Jaguars center Brandon Linder with just under a minute left to play in Jacksonville's 30-24 win.



quote:

Here's a look at the fine total, via NFL.com.

Pete Carroll: $10,000 fine for improperly entering the playing field

Quinton Jefferson: $9,115 for unnecessary roughness

Sheldon Richardson: $9,115 for unnecessary roughness

Germain Ifedi: $24,309 for verbal abuse of a ref

Leonard Fournette: $12,154 for unsportsmanlike conduct



So Fournette gets fined $12k for shoving Bennett after he tried to take someone’s knees out but Bennet doesn’t get shite.


What a fricking joke this league has turned into

I was about to post this. I had the exact same thought. How could the NFL watch video of that and think to fine Lenny more than the dude that tried to enter the stands and more than the guy trying to end someone's career.... it's a bunch of bullshite.

Compare it to the NBA. When Lonzo didn't back up his teammates when they got into a pushing match, the talking heads questioned if he even cared about basketball. They said he wasn't a team player....

Apparently the league said Bennett was going for the ball:

Brandon Linder is the Jaguar on the left side of the image

Player safety! Yeah right NFL!

Twitter Link with video of the whole play
Long story short, Michael Bennett is a POS.

It gets worse. Sheldon Richardson smacked Fournette in the head after Fournette pushed Bennett, then Richardson went after Linder.

And he was fined less money than Fournette.

Bravo NFL. You look incompetent yet again.

I can’t hear audio. Looks like victory formation. Was this the final play of the game? The Seahawks are trash I guess.

What a shitty run organization


The past is the only thing keeping the NFL alive and popular. Ask baseball though how that works out.......

I can at least see some stupid arse excuse why not to find Bennett for the initial dick move.

But the rest of the play pretty much proves that the whole play was meant to hurt the guy.

How is he not being fined?

What's with the NFL treating Michael Bennett like he's some sort of role model? He and his brother are both trash.

This honestly makes me beleive the NFL is setting up to do the unthinkable and give him the Man of the Year Award
