Yep, this actually happened. The NFL is at it again.
After Steelers’ defensive lineman Cameron Heyward was fined earlier this month for paying tribute to his late father with words on his eye black, his teammate, DeAngelo Williams was fined for an equally idiotic reason.
Williams was fined for having “We will find a cure” and the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon on his eye black in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, specifically in recognition of his mother’s battle with breast cancer. The veteran running back was fined $5,787 for the words and emblem.
Is it bad that no one is surprised?
