Witherspoon fined

[GemCity]

Ridiculous.

The Seahawks end the season with one more player getting fined

No Fun League, indeed.

Stupid...

Simply a bad decision on the part of whoever makes these things happen.

I’m not a bit surprised however.

At this point, the NFL is literally STEALING money from the players. This shit needs to stop. Where is the damn union?

dawg….absolutely agree

 

[nanomoz]

Unless he used words that players aren't supposed to use, I can't imagine what the problem is.

 

[Jerhawk]

That was a good, clean tackle. Stupid NFL

 

[kidhawk]

Not saying I agree but he’s far from the first player to be fined for body slamming a guy. I loved it when I saw it but I immediately thought there might be a flag. Glad the refs were letting them play there

 

[Maulbert]

If that happened against the Seahawks, the refs would've whistled before he was brought down. I swear, they always give other teams more time to break tackles, and then flag when the Hawks have to completely slam them.

Tackle was no issue. Perfect form tackle. Fine was for standing over Conner and flexing.
Penalty deserved. Kid needs to play smarter.

No it wasn’t…. it was for taking him off his feet and taking him to the ground… otherwise spoon wouldve been flagged every hit this yr and the most fined player in the nfl and team.

Kid needs to play smarter? Gtfo with that. He was the only one really showing Up week 1-17.

 

[SeaWolv]

The tackle wasn't even really a suplex and the flex afterwards was hardly egregious either. Sure seems like a money grab.

 

[jammerhawk]

I’m sure the player’s agent will file an appeal so the fine can be reconsidered.

i for sure didn’t think it looked to be situation that justified this fine.

He tackled someone 'hard' whilst wearing a Seattle Seahawks uniform. Its in the rulebook somewhere. Penal code W206.911.OhNooo

FULL STOP.

It's this kinda shit that REALLY makes me reconsider spending my money on the league in any way.

 

[BigMeach]

I see a guy tackling a guy who looks about twice his size, wtf else is he supposed to do? If he just stops after he hits him, and Connor keeps running, then what?

 

[renofox]

I don't see the problem with the tackle. NFL has decided to go full WWE so why not let them play like it, too?

Illegal Breathing: Seattle

 

[IndyHawk]

I love Spoon .. He's out there doing this while most of the
players cannot even make a tackle.
If he's able to put on just 10-20 more lbs OMG.

I agree with this, but had to chuckle about week one being included since he pulled his hamstring after an ill advised holdout to start the season and missed the game.
