Ever wondered what the players in the NFL are fined for? How much are the fines anyway? The following is the NFL's 2008 Fine Schedule. If you've never seen it, it's very interesting.
Fines listed are minimums unless otherwise specified. Other forms of discipline, including higher fines, suspension and banishment may also be imposed, based on the circumstances of the particular violation.
Players who were fined for violations in 2007 and whose fines were either partially or fully upheld, will be considered second and/or repeat offenders under this policy. Rescission of fines for first offenders shall not be automatic.
They do get the right to pick the charity so League is not getting the money, but thought this was interesting
Also there is a violation where team pays fine after second player is suspended up to 200,000. Which Dallas is paying for Adam Jones. Maybe the NFl should pick USA as there Charity they way they give out fines the Economy will be fixed in no time.........lol
