100% agree.

I’d like to wear flip flops to work but it violates company dress code. Some people think they don’t have to follow the rules they don’t agree with.


Now you are treading on creaky floorboards. "shoes" aren't just a fashion dress code it's a safety issue....even an elevator or door could cause an injury and nice lawsuit.

But your virtue has been signaled good job!

Well the "proper way," if there is one, to present a conspiracy would be to gather evidence of unfair dealings versus others, right? So if there are "tons" of people who wear their uniforms like Lamb and are not fined, then present that evidence. You don't go straight to conspiracy and then work backwards (or don't work at all) and not expect to not be taken as anything but a whiner. Prove Lamb is being treated unfairly here.


I have cited the FACTS of Zeke's suspension. and you keep ignoring it. How convenient. A HUGE unfair conspiracy that makes ZERO sense.

The cops said she lied, her "friends" said she lied, the female NFL investigator said she lied. Zeke get's 6 games effectively ending the season for the cowboys////given he's NFL rushing champion as a ROOKIE>

Just that ALONE should make you like...***?

I never said "Lamb is being treated unfairly". BUT YOU...are claiming there isn't any "conspiracy" or let's say unfairness.

It's your claim prove it.

I'm a bit confused by the fines for the jersey being untucked. He doesn't wear a long jersey. In fact, you see his abdomen any time he isn't standing still. His jersey doesn't seem to be long enough to be able to be tucked in. It's a weird fine.

I'm going to be honest, I'm not surprised at all, I was figuring they would/wondering why he hadn't been fined lol.

Not saying I'm for it, but I just know the NFL is kinda anal about their uniform rules.

The military has the same rules for far, far less pay. They can fine you, demote you, or put you in jail.

When you join the military you sign a contract. You agree to certain conditions.

I'm sure that if CeeDee reads the fine print on his, he will discover that he agreed to certain conditions in order to get that paycheck. Is a uniform code really that much to ask in return for the millions of dollars he will be paid? There are thousands of military veterans that would love to sign a contract like that.

Crack down on uniform while turning a blind eye to beating women.

Corporate America is so fake!

I'd like to grab the idiot who made these stupid violations up and rub his nose on a concrete sidewalk.

Is it Petty, yes, but you know the rules so just do it.

That's how I felt about shaving every day and keeping my hair short in the military. I wasn't about to get kicked out for it, though!

The way the refs called that NE game, he was lucky to not get called for a taunting penalty.

Eventually that'll happen if he doesn't knock it off.

Would have likely been the difference between a win and a loss in that game.

No. The game was over the instant he crossed the goal line. Can't call a penalty if the game is over!

Then he obviously needs to wear a larger jersey!

Rules and regulations are there for a purpose, even if they sound stupid, you have to follow them, if you can't this shows what kind of person you are and how important you think you are. 2 cents.

I'm glad we cut out the clowning in the endzone this past game.



The Giants got that taunting penalty and it helped lose them the game.

Petty.......you would think the NFL has more things to worry about. Hell, I didn't even know some of this was fineable.

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been fined by the NFL five different times from over Dallas' first six games this season for a total of $46,865, league sources told ESPN, including $10,300 for his wave on the walk-off winning touchdown earlier this month against the Patriots.

Is this just now news to some here? This has been around a very long time and Jerry Rice caught several fines for his socks. If you started watching this game back when I did, you might wonder as I did why were they stopping to pull their socks up? Fines mattered a lot more back then.

But let's defend the player ignoring the rules or hammer the rules themselves instead of him ignoring the rules and the NFL and teams all make sure they know the rules. He's got some punk to him.

If the NFL gave them leeway to ignore the on the field dress code, what do you think it would look like? Before you answer, consider how you've seen them dress showing up for games. Having money does not assure good taste. That's why the teams issue them uniforms and they don't let them buy them on their own.

One time in the history of the game that the league didn't have to worry about socks being down was any game Conrad Dobler was in. The DL wanted Kevlar socks.

I'd love to see Lamb sue the refs. But then again, Dallas doesn't need that type of attention.

Meanwhile....
