Thousand of fans have claimed to have sent a dollar or more to the NFL to pay for (and protest) James Harrison's fine from a tackle he made last Sunday. The story has not gotten legs outside of Pittsburgh, but you Steeler fans out there (and I know you are out there) might be interested in this interesting bit of activism,

Now that was a righteous hit.

Did not see the tackle, but if this guy has any class he will pay his own fine and donate the money to a good charity.

Look, I’m a huge Steeler fan but Harrison can pay his own fine. He’s loaded, I’m not. I agree with Harrison that this is unfair, but most of life is. He’ll get over it. Anyway, Harrison’s best hit was against a drunk Brownie fan (see post #2).

The reason the story hasn’t “gotten legs outside of Pittsburgh” is because pretty much everyone not beholden to the black and yellow feels that while the hit on Cribbs (Harrison’s college teammate) was questionable but probably legal, the hit on Massaquoi was a textbook example of a violation of the helmet to helmet rule. Harrison’s crowing about knocking out Cribbs didn’t help his cause either.

I love the Steelers and don’t agree with the fine, but I’m not sending in any cash for Harrison. Let him appeal. He’s got a heck of lot more money than I do.

And d*mn stop saying ‘chickafication’. I’m tired of everything being blamed on women when men act like wimps.

Just put dresses on them already!
