NFL

I was listening to ESPN radio last night and they were talking about this. Jaylen Warren was running down the sidelines and instead of going out of bounds he put his shoulder into the defenders chest and got another few yards before being taken out of bounds.

No flag, nothing remarked during the game. After the game he was fined more than he made that game after taxes. This dude basically went out there and when it was said and done had to pay the NFL for that game instead of getting paid.

Radio people made a couple of points. Could it be the NFL is cracking down on these fines for leverage at the next CBA. Or maybe they are pushing these fines so when the players speak out the NFL can say "look, we are trying to make the game safer but the players are pushing back".

Its a fucked up system. Fines should really be saved for egregious plays or repeat offenders.
