From the NFL's point of view, I can understand them not wanting to have to draw the line as to what's an acceptable breaking of the rules and what's not. I don't really think the fine will matter. It doesn't affect him financially. All NFL fines go to charity anyhow. And I'm guessing the whole thing will work out just fine in the end.I'm hoping the NFL decides to skip a fine in the future on a "judgment call" fine in the future - one where they can decide that it wasn't deserving of a fine. Whereas this is an objective breaking of the rules.All that said - I hope he does it. I'll give him a buck if you will :)
Sounds like this Chris Henry guy was a bit of a thug. How many times was he arrested since joining the NFL? Just because a thug can play sports well lets not make him into Gandhi when he dies.
Do people not see how this is the opposite of a "classy move"? The entire team will be honoring Chris Henry with a patch or a sticker of some sort. This is usual Ochocinco bulls**t, trying to stand out and take attention away from the rest of his team. Sort of like using props on the sidelines, trying to get on camera while eleven other guys on his team are out playing on the field. This is more about Ochocinco than it is about Chris Henry. Kudos to the NFL for trying to put a stop to his nonsense. And by the way I have no problem with end zone celebrations or press conference shenanigans but when it draws attention away from the rest of the team out on field, it's a problem to me.
