Critique- NFL Uniform Fines

 NFL and College Uniform Rules

I truly don't understand it but why does the NFL and NCAA have such a problem with what players wear. Since the NCAA understands most college players don't have the money to pay fines like NFL players do so they don't fine them but if they could they probably would. The NFL fines players for what they wear between $5,000 and $23,000 per fine. That is for each miniscule uniform rule break a fine in this range will be given to the player. This is crazy and honestly I don't understand I mean do they want every player to look exactly the same. Things like Tinted Visors aren't allowed -sucks because they look so cool-but it is understandable; if a player gets hurt or has a possible concussion on the field, medical staff has to be able to see the players eyes clearly to understand and know what the problem is and what the necessary steps of protocol are. This is understandable but if players aren't wearing socks or the right color socks $5,628 fine for the first offense and if it happens again $16,883. Like seriously I just don't get it especially for some socks like players all have to wear matching socks or they get fined to me just doesn't make 'cents'. The amount of fans especially young football fans who follow players and team based purely off of how cool they look and buy players jerseys and go to games because their favorite player looks "Drippy" is crazy. These kids loved Odell Beckam Jr. because 1 he made a 1 handed catch and 2 he has the hair that looks cool and he does little things to his uniform that make him stand out as well as wear 'Drip' accessories. Odell was a social media sensation and basically every kids favorite player for quite some time and I'm not taking away from how good a player he was saying people only followed him because how he looked but they made a way of wearing your socks named after him. They call them 'Odell' socks because he would scrunch them up to add a ripple effect and now you can go online and look up 'Odell Socks' and you will find tons of option. The NFL is stopping players from standing out and bringing life to the game that people love and not only are they taking away from it but they are punishing players who do try to and this just doesn't make sense to me.

Football Cleats Review

Image
  Nike Men's Vapor Edge Dunk Panda Football Cleats      The Nike Vapor Edge Dunk Panda Football Cleats have been a fan favorite since they were released on February 14, 2023. The cleats made big waves as football cleats usually have a distinct feature with certain looks that are always found on football cleats. However, the Panda cleats did not and that instantly got them a lot of popularity. With the recent Nike Dunk's obsession notably the black and white "Panda's" Nike attempted to take a normal shoe and convert it into a dynamic football cleat. While we have seen this type of transition from popular shoe to football cleat before; they are usually not easily attainable to the general public and can only be seen on star NFL players as well as best of the best college athletes. When Nike first released these to the general public on Valentine's Day of last year everyone went crazy and scrambled to get their hands on a pair. But as with all new drops people ha...

Way Too Early Predictions

      Who doesn't love a good prediction for the rest of the NFL season after only 4 games. While it is too early with 13 weeks left in the NFL season we can't be so sure about predictions but, we have learned a lot and teams have started to show their true colors. While things will obviously change that doesn't stop us from predicting so let's get into it.     Who else to talk about other than America's team The Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys in my opinion have not changed much since last season or for the last few years for that matter. They still seem to look like the team that beats up on lesser opponents and really struggles against strong contenders in the league. The Cowboys have been a team that racks up regular season games with electric wins and primetime nail biters leaving fans with the impression that they can make a playoff run for the Super Bowl. However, once the playoffs start they can never get it done and actually struggle a lot for that mat...
