The NFL is at it again: Salvation Army Donation Earns Heavy Fine for Elliot

[The Original Tree]

Seriously? Was it really necessary for THE NFL to fine Ezekial Eliot $13,000 for giving The Salvation Army a donation of $21 Dollars? That's a little extreme, especially since The Salvation Army shelters victims of domestic abuse, while The NFL gives the perpetrators of Domestic Abuse Million Dollar Contracts.

That's capitalism at work for you. Those who own the NFL get to call the shots. Are you a communist?

 

[Rocko]

Yeah the NFL are a bunch of bumbling idiots

 

[Manonthestreet]

These self promoting showboat displays need to be reigned in .Fine em all ...bigly

 

[bodecea]

Meh.

The NFL has a long history of fining its players for a myriad of stupid reasons.

Best advertising the S.A. has had in a long time.

Maybe the new American Patriot League will take some of the NFL's fan base. I think it will.

So you can't make donations to a charity during work? Then WTF do I get asked every year for donations to The United Way for? The NFL Players also get solicited for this.

So the problem is THE NFL's hostility toward Elliot's donation to The Salvation Army, and not their favored charities which they solicit donations for from the players during work hours.

Well, that's pretty fucked up.

I heard about that. The NFL is a monopoly that is subsidized by tax dollars, so it is going to be hard for any professional league to ever be successful so long as The NFL has all these protections in place.

Neat. Thanks for the information. Football in the spring!? How unconventional. I’d check it out if a team sprang up in my region.

Aw shit, you know who's behind that there.

Same guy it was before, or his chilluns.

TBH, I like this concept:

The NFL seems to be drinking the same Kool-ade these days the Democrats are handing out to the snowflakes...

I know it's been tried before, but maybe this league will last. Professional ball players may try out for the league when they retire from the NFL.

And it has patriotic underpinnings.
