Kaepernick fined $11,000 for "inappropriate language"

[jadillac]

Colin Kaepernick has been fined $11,025 for saying something he claims he didn't say. The49ers quarterback received a letter from the league on Wednesday saying that he's been fined for using 'inappropriate language' against the Bears.

Kaepernick plans to appeal the fine though because he claims he didn't say whatever the NFL thinks he said. "I didn't say anything," Kaepernick said. "Lamarr Houston said I didn't say anything. We're going to leave it at that."

Should Kaepernick have been fined? You can judge for yourself below. The CBS affiliate in San Francisco has video of Kaepernick's comments. I'm not a lip reader, but it looks like he's saying, "Back the F--- up."

The league promised to have 'zero tolerance for obscene and abusive language' in 2014.

During a conference call with the media Wednesday, committee chair Rich McKay andcommittee member Jeff Fisher emphasized that officials can flag players for obscene comments under the current rules.

"As we mentioned earlier, we have the current rule — unsportsmanlike conduct — Rule 12, Section

3," Fisher said. "It states that, 'Using abusive, threatening or insulting language, or gestures to opponents, teammates, officials or representatives of the league is unsportsmanlike conduct.'

"The N-word would fall under that category. The officials will be empowered to call a foul if there are racial slurs or statements regarding another player's sexual orientation, or even bating and insulting with verbal abuse. It falls under that. It is going to be a very significant point of emphasis."
