They could have been professionals and just walked off the field.

Where is the thumbs down button when you need one

It's a game.... Make it fun respectably to play and watch or just shut it all down.

And then every other team's fans would be typing away about how the Cowboys get preferencial treatment. lol

Its ok, justlike we complain about GB , Pitts getting favorable treatment

The money goes to former players.

So there you go. The former players appreciate it I'm sure

So our players can't jump in the salvation army kettle but the Green Bay players can jump in the stands. Yeah there's no hypocrisy there at all. Why can't we develop our own traditions?

Exactly. What's the difference?

he No Fun League strikes again.

Four Cowboys players were fined for their Thanksgiving celebration that incorporated the oversized Salvation Army bucket the NFL and the Cowboys place beyond the end zone.








Cowboys tight ends Dalton Schultz ($13,261), Jake Ferguson ($4,895), Peyton Hendershot ($3,944) and Sean McKeon ($4,994) were all fined, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

The players brought attention to the league’s Salvation Army donation drive, which is the whole reason the bucket is there, but that wasn’t enough to spare them from getting fined.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said teammates would cover any fines. Technically, that would violate NFL rules, although there’s no real way for the NFL to know if a player quietly gives a teammate money to cover a fine.

Ssssshh..... keep it down Dak ....

Id rather the players use props than everyone running down the field to take a pic after an interception.....that seems more unsportsmanlike

Imagine why the rules are there in the first place. It's to make sure those pesky NFL players aren't cutting into valuable commercial time.

How would any player celebrations be cutting into commercial time? The play clock for the extra point starts as soon as the refs signal a TD. Unless the celebrating goes on long enough to draw a delay of game penalty. Even then the networks aren't sacrificing any commercial time. The game will just go longer.

The interesting thing is that by using it as a prop, they drew more attention to the Salvation Army's cause.

This is a reach by the NFL to criminalize doing something like that for charity.

Hypocritical, actually.

 

[J_Allen]

I saw that fumble coming a mile away. I cannot stand Schultz

 

[DanTanna]

I call BS!

His momentum carried him into the kettle and his mates went to save him. pfffft.
And the TE that was apparently whacking them on the head was simply saying "go back in and save him, go back in..."

 

[NorthoftheRedRiver]

I'm just not a fan of organized/planned celebrations.

 

[Xeven]

NFL should donate the fine money,
