All NFL fines are donated to charity.
I don't like the way Goodell is running things either but he wanted to straighten the ship. In a leadership position it's always easier to loosen up then it is to tighten down. I'm guessing the loosening up will come next season.
I think that they fine money actually goes to charities...............
still the unbuckled helmet is a little ridiculous...
Firstly...it;s NOT about an unbuttoned chin strap...it's I believe one of three or four buttons NOT buttoned. So it is NOT at all like he;s playing with an unbottened chin strap. (frankly, I do understand safety very much so..but having 1 of 3 or 4 unbuttoned??? I really doubt THAT would make any difference.) Secondly, the Pats have mouthguards that are individually shaped by a dentist that has developed these over the years to cut down on concussions. (That the NFL has totally ignored what he has done over 25 plus years is really sad.)Well, would you rather see TB lose 5k or get a concussion? That rule is there for a reason.
Edit: Imagine he gets popped and hit helmet knocked off then a full force head-to-head hit from a lumbering D-Lineman. Potentially career ending but unlikely. Still, the rule exists for player safety.
