Idk why when something like this comes up everyone is on the side of the person who did something they knew they couldn’t do. More specifically here, it’s not even his first time crossing the line. Y’all are wild lol.
I don’t think anyone has given anymore thought to this happening. The NFL could have just quietly said, hey don’t let that happen again.
Yep - now it’s negative PR and the NFL looks like a childish asshole.
This is the way.
They literally did- twice before this. I’m very pro-worker, but this dude had expectations clearly laid out, and he willfully violated them. That’s stupid on his part.
I get that they’re upset he didn’t appear neutral enough, but a suspension for the rest of the season is pretty extreme, especially contrasted with how light they are on punishments for some of the shit players do.
If you want a guy to look neutral don’t assign him to be a camera guy for all home games for a high profile player that he’s really good friends with.
Like, what did they expect?
Well don’t worry, he isn’t assigned anymore games with said high profile player.
Exactly what rule did he break?
the ‘why’ is the nfl can’t have this become standard fare. they keep sidelines very tightly regulated and if the guy hopped in to help celebrate the TD it could become a problem. i know they call it the No Fun League but the reality is it’s a slippery slope. just look at how defenses will run to an endzone to celebrate a fumble recovery. maybe it’s not fun, but the nfl has to regulate who can be on the sideline and when and what interactions they can have with the players. maybe the next CBA will allow for specific team employees to do something like this so that everyone can have more fun? hopefully so.
/u/nfl this you?
What an absolute crock of shit.
NFL cementing their usual image as a shitshow circus.
What exactly is the issue here?
that is truly bullshit… i hope he sues.
such a shit case of absurd rule application… almost like abuse of power.
No Fun League.
This one reminds me of how the IRS will decimate some poor schmoe while bazillionaires dodge taxes with impunity.
