NFL Reinforces Their “No Fun League” Reputation By Announcing Bans & Massive Fines For Players Who Release Certain Type Of Social Media Post
Players will no longer be able to post about NFL drug tests after being summoned, at least not without getting fined.
The NFL and the NFLPA have agreed to alter their substance abuse policy, and one of the changes is set to take away all the fun from the drug testing aspect.
According to a report from the Associated Press, players posting about their tests will be fined $15,000.
“Players will be fined $15,000 for recording and posting the collection process on social media,” the report notes.
It’s also been revealed that this rule was always there but there was no disciplinary framework, so the NFL could have actually fined more than $15K.
Of course, this came across as a surprise to users on social media.
“Why not? Curious how this is an issue,” one wondered.
“Wtf why can’t they post they getting tested 😂,” another laughed.
“Let me guess…” someone added, showing an image of what they believed was the reason for the announcement.
