Big BROTHER is here! What happened to free speech? Are we going to have a dictionary of banned words now? This is disgusting. Fining players for dancing in the end zone, saying "bad" words to me is plain stupid. It makes me lose interest in the sport. Should we watch games to see if anyone dances or uses bad words; that is a boring distraction. What else are they going to cut back on?

Agreed. ...... it's gotten insane.

Porter just ought to be glad he didn't make fun of Winslow's ears.

Well, the NFL is a business and not the government, so if they want to set standards for how their member employees behave, then fine (no pun intended). Big Brother would be the government saying they can't do that.

OTOH, the NFL receives perqs from the public. Preferential treatment (what other business owners get their facilities built with taxpayer funds?) means, IMHO, that the NFL is under different rules.
