The NFL has fined the New Orleans Saints $500,000 and stripped them of a 2021 seventh-round draft pick for violating league COVID-19 protocols, a person with direct knowledge of the discipline told the Associated Press on Sunday.
The New England Patriots were fined $350,000 for similar violations, the person said, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither the league nor the teams have announced the fines or loss of draft pick.
New Orleans was fined as a repeat offender; Sean Payton previously was docked $150,000 and the team $250,000 because the head coach failed to properly wear a face covering during a Week 2 game against the Raiders. The more recent issue with the Saints came after a Week 9 win over Tampa Bay when the team’s celebrations included players not wearing masks while in close proximity to one another. The celebrations were captured on video by some players and posted to social media.
The Saints are expected to appeal the discipline, which ESPN first reported Sunday morning.

The National Faggot League.
Check out my keyword.
Those assholes deserve this harassment.
If Biden steals this thing, will they still kneal?
Will they return the money when it’s found out it was all scam?
Ah, the turds fining the smell?
A true black hole of intelligence if there ever was one.
Even worse, the NFL is forcing the Broncos to play today without a QB.
Because the backup QB tested positive and had been in a position meeting with the other QBs where they were indoors without masks, ALL of their QBs were ruled ineligible. Denver is using a receiver who last played QB as a freshman in college.
The game is a complete and total farce.
I find that all quite hilarious. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of snowflake SJWs!
Good one.

Sean Payton has had COVID, cannot transmit it and cannot catch it. He had immunity.
Saints should be skunking the team who has no QBs but right now only 24 -3 in the 4th quarter.
Broncos fans are infuriated that Ravens and Steelers get concessions but Broncos got screwed.
Saints and patriots always catch hell.
Why doesn’t anything bad ever happen to buccaneers or raiders instead?
Raiders got skunked today.
Saints now 30 to 3..whew...my bets are safe.
So they can pile on top of each other clutching, grabbing, sweating and panting all game long for three hours but God help them if they get together and high five each other after the game. Seriously? Because football helmet face guards will protect them from Covid, right?
It’s SCIENCE!
Ooooooh. A 2021 seventh-round draft pick?
This must be really serious!

Arizona coach Kliff Kingbury is going to be hit with fines this week. He was shown several times during the game not wearing a mask including talking face to face with Kyler Murray.
Andy Reid not wearing his face shield today. announcers not saying why he is in a mask.
