GOD Goodell is trash.Frank Gore's efforts in the San Francisco 49ers' NFC Championship Game victory over the Atlanta Falcons didn't go unnoticed by the NFL, which decided he wore his socks last Sunday a little too low to its liking. The running back was fined $10,500 on Wednesday for wearing his socks too low in the game, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

That's a good fine. Everyone else in the NFL wears their stockings to their knees. He should too.

Re: Frank Gore fined for low socks
He looks like a college amateur with low socks. High socks forever.
Pull yr 84 jerseys out.

I wouldn't have a problem with this fine if Brady hadn't been fined less money for his sliding karate kick.

Socks > sliding karate kick
There was only a $500 difference between the two fines.
I don't have a problem with the fine for Gore. I actually like how tightly the NFL controls what players can wear and how they wear it. It keeps the uniforms looking... uniform (imagine that said in an Austin Powers voice, please). I think that's a good thing!

I heard Gore has had more than one uniform violation though.Cliff wrote:I wouldn't have a problem with this fine if Brady hadn't been fined less money for his sliding karate kick.

$10,000+ for SOCKS and you people are ok with it? Who even noticed besides Goodell?

NFL players like Gore make so much freakin' money that a $10,000 fine means very little to them. Even a WR like Earl Bennett of the Bears, who is hardly a top-paid superstar, thought nothing of wearing orange shoes in multiple games despite fines of $5000.
The league has been fining players for uniform violations like this for a long, long time.
Re: Frank Gore fined for low socks
What do you mean "Ok with it"? They have uniform rules, and fines for breaking them. It has nothing to do with Goodell. If you break the law do you blame the cop for enforcing it? If you work somewhere with a dress code, and you're disciplined for breaking that dress code, is it your bosses fault?PurpleMustReign wrote:$10,000+ for SOCKS and you people are ok with it?
