and there's the hypocrisy of Roger's NFL that is all about player safety. Note the fine for the action that is more likely to cause injury to the player; and compare it to the fine that involves NO contact and can't possibly cause injury. NFL might SAY it's all about player safety, but actions indicate otherwise.
Personally, I think it's all about generating additional sources of revenue. Why else would you fine somebody for something that was NOT flagged on game day? Anyone have any idea how much revenue the NFL generates in weekly fines, for 32 teams, over a 17-game season and playoffs? And where does that money go? I honestly don't know...but I am curious.
