And the players mentioned here are all multi millions. Its is a drop in the bucket for most players. <br /><br />And if the players don't like it, the union should be yapping about it. But their union seems to be run by a guy who doesn't have a clue right now and is almost looking forward to a lockout.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725231979706488599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-83014371940566542112010-09-24T15:19:43.590-04:002010-09-24T15:19:43.590-04:00Not 100% sure, but I think the fines and salary lo...Not 100% sure, but I think the fines and salary lost during suspensions goes to support benefits for the older former players.adamgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-76229075293793691542010-09-24T13:09:36.205-04:002010-09-24T13:09:36.205-04:00first of all, it's a power grab by the NFL to ...first of all, it's a power grab by the NFL to show control over the players. name another sport that reviews every single play and then hands out fines. it's like whispering in someone's ear, "i'm watching you."<br /><br />second, do the players get to determine the charity their fine goes to? i really don't know. if not, how does the nfl determine where the money goes. that ends up being a lot of money every year.<br /><br />third, appeal it to who? the people that gave you the fine in the first place. total joke.<br /><br />fourth, imagine MLB with the same policy, reviewing every pitch and coming back to a player saying, "hey, i know the ump didn't think so, but we think you came in a little hard at second base, so pony up $10,000." <br /><br />i'm not a big union type guy. i believe owners make the rules and employees follow them (within reason obviously), but i also think the NFL is pushing the limits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-85575357011983568162010-09-24T12:30:12.503-04:002010-09-24T12:30:12.503-04:00PFT essentailly does such a thing marc, they just ...PFT essentailly does such a thing marc, they just report them individually rather than collectively. <br /><br />The fines may be a little out of hand, but I'm hard pressed to get upset about these guys losing $5,000 if the money goes towards a good cause.
