Are the fines fair in the NFL

The last week many have heard about the problems in the NFL regarding some big hits. one of the major stories is James Harrison on The Pittsburgh Steelers getting fined $75,000 for his hits against the Browns last Sunday. Is this fair to fine an individual so much money for doing his job, especially at a high level. I personally think that all this stuff is ridiculous. All these QB and WR are aware of the risk they take when they step on the field yet there being protected. Ray Lewis said it best when he said they need to quit being pussies and take the hits that they are getting paid to take. Football as we know it is going downhill and all these talented athletes who were taught at a young age the fundamentals are going to have to re teach them self for the sake of the league. WHAT LEAGUE! What’s going to be the next thing that the LEAGUE tries to control?

    i couldn't agree with you more. Everything about this is true. You are going to get hurt if you play in the NFL. Some injuries could be more serious than others but thats the risk these playes take to earn the money.

    I also agree with everything you said. The NFL is looking out for the offensive players because they bring the NFL the most revenue by jerseys and fan gear. The hard hits are just part of the game and the players are getting fined for doing their job right.
