I get that he broke the rules. And…
No fun league indeed.
I’m glad he got suspended.
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.
Of all the things the NFL thinks will lower our opinions of them this is quite literally the most ridiculous. Guys not an official and no one cares about people on the sideline or who they work for unless they are involved in the game. Now yall look like stupid hypocrites AGAIN. Whoever is in charge of these decisions needs to be suspended indefinitely because they continue to make the dumbest possible decisions.
/u/nfl this you?
What an absolute crock of shit.
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.
No Fun League.
This one reminds me of how the IRS will decimate some poor schmoe while bazillionaires dodge taxes with impunity.
NFL cementing their usual image as a shitshow circus.
that is truly bullshit… i hope he sues.
such a shit case of absurd rule application… almost like abuse of power.
What exactly is the issue here?
Exactly what rule did he break?
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.
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.
Yep - now it’s negative PR and the NFL looks like a childish asshole.
This is the way.
This feels extreme tbh.
