First Flags, Now Fines

It was announced that Steelers starting left guard, Chris Kemoeatu was fined $25,000 for the Arizona Cardinals game. He was fined $15,000 for his personal foul and another $10,000 for a face masking penalty he had in the game.

Are you kidding me?

It is bad enough that every other play the referees are throwing flags for inappropriate touching, but now they are fining players for playing. The personal foul was stupid, plane and simple. The play was ending and he came in and hit the defender who was on top of his teammate. It made no sense but wasn't malicious. As soon as he hit him he stood up, helped the defender up and tapped his helmet.

I understood the penalty, but fining him? Not so much. The idea of fining should be for malicious plays like taking out a players knee and launching at a defenseless player. Goodell is destroying the NFL with the over-excessive penalties and now he is going to waste our time by fining the pockets right out of our favorite players.

I lost a lot of respect for Goodell, but now I am down right despising him. He is trying to dictate the NFL by taking rugid, hard nose teams out of the equation. Goodell is a tool who would rather see the Packers, Saints and Patriots in the Super Bowl then the Steelers, Ravens and Bears.

Goodell is a worthless commissioner. For someone who came in being a so called "old school"guy, he really is all about turning the NFL into a pansy game. There is a difference between protecting players and making sure your pockets are lined.

GO FUCK YOURSELF GOODELL.
