Last week, Manziel displayed his middle finger to the Redskins in a fashion deemed offensive to the NFL and was fined.
Now, does anyone believe that the NFL will fine Michael Sam for his taunting of Manziel as Manziel was fined for taunting the Redskins?
No. Michael Sam will never be fined for anything.
The rule is, there are different standards for members of officially recognized grievance groups, such as black or homosexual people. A member of a grievance group has to commit a very serious offense before any sanctions will even be considered.
well manziel used the same gesture when he scored a TD so I don’t see the NDL fining Sam
Why would he be fined? The bird is considered a dirty word and it landed on TV thus potentially creating an FCC problem for the network. The money sign is just the money sign, Manziel does it all the time without getting fined.
