    - guy wears pink shoes for cancer awareness, gets fined 10k. - groiny Nov 1, 09:53 5
      - he's not being fined for supporting cancer awareness, he's being fined for wearing a shoe that doesn't align with a financial contract the NFL has -- nm - decline Nov 1, 09:55 4
        
        And the protester would not be fined for opposing injustice, he'd be fined for causing a distraction that affects NFL financial contracts... -- nm - Ender Nov 1, 10:22 2
        
        Because forcing people to participate in staged patriotic displays for commercial purposes is what America is all about! -- nm* - znufrii Nov 1, 10:43

        Right. -- nm - David Nov 1, 09:58
    - The NFL has always tightly controlled their brand and image, except in this one area that’s actually negatively affecting that image... -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 1, 09:51 5
      - That's not about brand and image. It's about licensing contracts. -- nm - David Nov 1, 09:54
      - They have to keep up the fiction that displays of patriotism are purely voluntary. - znufrii Nov 1, 09:54
      - the NFL limits the clothing players wear because they have lucrative contracts with competing companies. Not because of political or social protest -- nm - decline Nov 1, 09:53 2
        
        if the shoes are the same brand, but pink, they still get fined -- nm - groiny Nov 1, 09:55 1
        
        correct, because the licensing contract stipulates which of those branded shoes he can wear -- nm - decline Nov 1, 09:57
  - Apples and cannonballs -- nm - crash davis Nov 1, 09:47 8
    - is it really? - groiny Nov 1, 09:51 7
