Brady fined 10,000 for dangerous slide while Gore fined 10,500 for them socks

[SubZeroDegrees]

Despite apologizing to Ed Reed on the phone following his ninja kick in last Sunday's AFC title game, the NFL has fined Patriots quarterback Tom Brady $10,000 for unnecessary roughness.

So try to contextualize this bit of news: San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore was fined $10,500 for wearing his socks too low during the NFC championship game.

thats the most racist display of power in some time,how dude stays in office i have no idea how you get a bigger fine for socks that trying to deliberately injure another player guess rg3 is next for his socks huh
we need a black commish thats it and if he was a former player that would be an added bonus cause this power hungry tyrant needs to go

Is there any sort of scale on this shyt. Or does it just depend on how Goodell feels that day ?

Ya it is all in the CBA. RG3 got hit with a 10k fine for wearing Adidas in a post game presser.

Edit:

The specificity comes not on a case-by-case basis, but from the agreement reached by the league and the NFLPA regarding the minimum amounts for various infractions.

For physical contact with an official, for example, the minimum player fine is $26,250 on a first offense. Verbal or non-physical offenses against officials entail a less specific $21,000 fine for a first offense.

For striking, kicking, or kneeing an opponent, the minimum for a first offense is $7,875.

Horse collar, first offense? $15,750 minimum.

Face mask, late hit, low block, chop block, taunting? $7,875 minimum.

Leg whip, roughing the passer? $15,750 minimum.

Spearing, hit on defenseless player, blindside block, impermissible helmet use? $21,000 minimum.

Fighting? $26,250 minimum.

Excessive profanity or other unsportsmanlike conduct triggers a minimum fine of $10,500.

Foreign substances on the uniform/body or failure to wear a chin strap results in a minimum fine of $7,875.

Throwing a football into the stands or personal messages on the uniform draw a minimum fine of $5,250.

For second offenses, all minimum fines double.

NFL Turning Point had a great clip this week.

Ed Reed saying to the refs, "He tries to kick me in the knee and take my knee out" Ref doesn't respond at all. Reed says "Yeah, I forgot it's his league anyway".

fukking hate this league sometimes.

Hope Gore wears no socks for the SB

It's not really racist, the NFL always fines dudes for uniform violations.

Merton Hanks (a black man, who was a 49er) is the head of the uniform committee.

Why does EVERYTHING have to be turned into race. This is the NFL protecting its Golden Boy QB and covering their ass for not throwing a flag

it is racist when you can clearly go beyond the rule book and look at this on a case by case basis if ed reed had done anything similar to that especially to the great white qb brady he'd be sitting out the superbowl and have to appeal that shyt but we gone fine greater for socks tell hanks to fix his neck and pay attention to the real issue he's a 49er he should have cut core some slack
