But the Packers aren’t fined for throwing themselves in the stands…
——————————-
Two things –

– any player from any NFL team can jump into the stands. It isn’t just the Packers that are allowed to do it – they’re just more well known for it.

– when was the last time you saw a Lambeau Leap go past the 1st or 2nd row?

At least one MLB fan was killed when he reached over too far and lost his balance and fell when a baseball player threw a ball up into the stands.
And that changed things in the MLB.
Kidding! Nope, players keep on tossing those balls up into the crowd and don’t suffer any repercussions.
Has any NFL fan suffered from any thrown footballs at them?
They should fine only if that happens.

——————————————————————-

But what happens if players are doing that throughout the game and they are only down to just one last ball?

Why are these guys paying double? Shouldn’t it be a set amount if a player throws a ball to the fans?

Where does all of this fine money actually go?

Also, agree with better to fight and get ejected than to toss a football in the stands…give me a break.

Not true. Fine money actually goes straight to NFL-supported charities. Perhaps one of those charities is the Goodell Family Trust Fund, but not likely.

At the very least, please tell me players like Brady who spiked the ball in front of a ref was fined…..
Or Gronk is fined each time he spikes the ball.

Giving the fans something to remember like a football should not result in a fine. Sorry, but that is just idiotic.

Agreed, but I have yet to see an air-filled football cause an injury like a cork baseball to the eye. I was at a Phillies game a long time ago when a Montreal Expos player overshot me and nailed a guy a few rows behind me.

“Fans could get hurt if they were pushing, shoving, etc. for a thrown game ball.” When was the last time you’ve heard about a stadium riot based on a thrown ball? As we’ve seen a couple of times during the previous 2 regular seasons, fans don’t need the prospect of acquiring a game ball to make them unruly. The riots (not really riots… a handful of fights featured on ESPN) that I’m talking about were fueled by a hatred of a rival team and Bud Light.
I don’t think two thrown game balls will cause a riot. I mean if that’s all it took, they shouldn’t have t-shirt cannons firing away into the crowd during halftime. And I don’t think an authentic NFL game ball costs $10.5k. The fine should have been the price of the ball. If someone really got hurt, then yeah, the said fine would be justifiable, if not more.

If you throw a ball weighing a few ounces into the stands it’s 10 g’s. So a player throwing himself into the stands would probably be a few million ! It is far more dangerous to the fans and the liability to the league is off the charts. This is another example of east coast bias in sports. Stop the west coast oppression,go niners !!!!!
