The DeAngelo Williams situation is so awful, the fact that they would not let a player who lost many loved ones wear some simple eye black to commemorate them is baffling. Shame on the league for that.
The NFL let LaDamian Tomlinson wear a tinted face shield for his whole career. For one reason. Going back to his days at TCU he has a sensitivity to glaring light that would cause migraines. That had been documented for three years before he even enter the league so they gave him an exemption.
@@oscarorozco7368 But they also give an advantage to the player. Especially offense. One of the things my linebacker couch tried to teach us was to read the quarterback's eyes to know where the ball is going. Or as a DB is you can read the receiver's eyes you will know when the ball is in range and time it to make a play. FYI: I was never good enough or quick enough to do either. But we had guys that could.
Most of these rules are fueled by the NFL's greed, but jewelry ... I've played several different sportsover my lifetime and have never seen a single one that allowed watches, rings, earrings, necklaces, any kind of jewelry at all. Usually because it's a potential injury to themselves or others. Getting scraped by someone's watch or having an earing ripped out ... ouch.
The banning the overbuilt facemask seemed counterintuitive at the time as it protected against eye injuries and stopped facemask calls. Still clueless to this day why they didn’t go forward with that design and just figure out a way to lighten the build.
you know, who cares. what they need to do is get rid of the gloves they wear. These gloves have tainted the game. These gloves make average players have HOF potential. i would love to see these catches, especially the one handed catches be made gloveness

I do believe that a large part of this comes down to limiting player empowerment. By not allowing for individuality in their gear, the players become much less distringuishable from their peers and it become harder for them to stand out, making them seem more interchangeable and less valuable as individual contributors in the scope of team success. This leads to less bargaining power and leverage in contract negotations over time.
Has exactly zero to do with these rules. It's a team game and allowing a competition for fashion attention would take away from the game. The NFL has built an impressive product due to its focus on such details.
Deion’s bandana under the helmet had nothing to do with style. It was about comfort. Some players find the padding and buttons underneath uncomfortable.
Not disagreeing with you. I believe that the reason why they did it was because of potential players rocking "gang colors" if they wore a blue or red one. Which is why they allowed the skull caps.
@@nickzigrang2664 Only $100k for a player to wear your merch and drink your drink at the Superbowl? Hell, marketing departments would be falling all over themselves to happily pay that.
If an accessory is not visible while the player is in full uniform, it should be allowed. It's literally not affecting gameplay in any way, shape or form. Banning bandanas just gave further evidence that league officials were on a power trip.
As long as it's not visible on the sidelines or during warmups that might fly, but if it shows up any time the player is "on stage" it becomes a problem. Put whatever you want on your jockstrap and no one will care.

@@drak3y Great story, but you've totally missed the point. Again, the player with the long hair is not only doing something that is stupid in terms of risking his own health, but is also putting all of the other players on the field in danger.

So again, if a large strand of hair or dread gets caught in between another player's mask and helmet, and if it occurs when one or both are moving at high speed, one or both may be subjected to the same type of force that is experienced by people who are being dropped through the floor of a scaffold, with one end of a rope around the neck, and the other end tied to a gallows pole.
No one should be even considering a 10 year old helmet. The professional organization that certifies helmets for other sports doesn't recommend using equipment from a certification from over 10 years ago.
I don't care what color cleats a player wears. It doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game. However, think of the word "uniform", and it's definition. Many people must follow rules concerning dress at work. Players are paid a lot of money to play a game. They don't like not being able to do whatever they want. How important is this really? It all seems petty and silly to me.
It is mainly about branding and image, which can be worth a lot of money. Like how top NBA players can earn more money though ads and brands the own/ have a stake in. The NFL doing this rules are half about safety and half making players more dependent on the NFL for income and make them more docile.
Exactly, players want money and attention, but they have to realize they are on The NFLs stage and the players are puppets, and for one they need to be more professional about the term uniform...
Wearing jewelry and watches is dangerous... In high school football practice 1995, I cut my hand playing cornerback, the receiver had on a watch, while I was defending him, his watch slashed me along the side of my pinky finger, our coach made him remove the watch...

A lot of these (but definitely not all) make a ton of sense. They have to protect their partners from competing brands, so no wonder they outlaw showing other brands. It's no wonder they don't allow a watch on the field - edges could cut an opponent. OBJ just thinks he's so special it'd only apply to him but he's wrong.
@@soundsfromYYBY Nobody will see it, its a cultural thing for many people as well. There is no increased injury risk so there shouldn't be an issue with it, the fact that a bunch of old white billionaires can decide what some guy wears when playing a sport is ridiculous, that should only be the privilege of the researchers who try to increase the safety of the game.
I remember way back in the day player use to use double sided sticky tape to tape their jerseys to their pads & lightly spray Pam on their jerseys . See their jerseys are made of polyester which is already slippery it just made it harder to hold on to & the sticky tape would make it so the jersey couldn’t be ripped from the pads making it harder to grab , smart ideal , even their pants are polyester so imagine the possibility at that time .
I'm not sure if there is still a policy in place for the colour of cleats any more. Recently A J Brown of the Eagles switched to pink cleats and the announcers claimed he was wearing them so that his daughter could find him on the field. Perhaps they were lying and telling a feel good story.
Football players are still only employees. The NFL and the teams are companies with owners that have assumed the risk. Players have to respect. Shit is getting out of hand.
The players could argue all they want but I'm all for the restrictions. Give every player leeway and the field would look like a carnival. That's why it's called U-N-I-F-O-R-M. It gives a feeling of order and respect.
They are all under contract which means they are obligated to follow these rules. If they want these rules followed then they need to raise the fines. These guys are making millions. Their fine should be 50% their salary minimum
Why would you wear a 350K watch during a NFL game? I can understand wearing on the sideline if you’re IR. But that is such a reckless use of too much money.
Commenters don't realize that not allowing other brands adorn their players increases the advertising value of the NFL which in tern translates to higher salaries for the players. Allowing brands to be advertised "for free" by a player indirectly stifles the value of the league in the eyes of potential advertisers.

Nobody would bat an eye if a movie studio told a film actor that they couldn't do their own product placement. No one would criticize a Broadway produce for telling a stage actor that they can't modify their costume. Yet one type of entertainer believes they are entitled to "express themselves" while performing.
All these rules are in the contract players sign. They are paid millions. Every single one of these rules, makes perfect sense. Just because you get away with it for a while, doesn’t make it acceptable. Just because your accessory sends a nice message, doesn’t mean it’s not against the rules. The fact there are so many people breaking these rules, intentionally, and for their own momentary gain, tells you exactly why the rules exist. Imagine how out of control this would get if the NFL just allowed players to do what they want? With all these rules and fines, there are athletes constantly trying to get away with breaking them. It would be out of control so fast and the game would quickly turn into players trying to “one-up” each other, or prioritizing “There brand,” whenever possible.
The brand name thing goes back to the '85 Bears. Walter Payton and Jim McMahon would wear ROOS and Addidas headbands while on the sidelines because those were their choice of sneakers. I don't even think they were being paid. Pete Rozelle told them to stop..... so McMahon showed up at the next game with a headband that said ROZELLE on it.
If you watch the 85 Bears Super Bowl Jim McMahon had issues with the league doing the same. If they allow one then many will be asking so they say no to all.
The DeAngelo Williams situation is so awful, the fact that they would not let a player who lost many loved ones wear some simple eye black to commemorate them is baffling. Shame on the league for that.

the nfl is stupid for being strict on everything for wearing something
all these fines for using and drinking things that any regular person would be able to do freely all sounds like a great class action lawsuit.
congratulations you just put the hammer to the nail of the problem with our consumerism society!
Regular people aren't signing contracts, etc.
@@ardascholar5289 There's no free rides. If you want to advertise, then you nave to pay like every one else.
Nobody would bat an eye if a movie studio told a film actor that they couldn't do their own product placement. No one would criticize a Broadway produce for telling a stage actor that they can't modify their costume. Yet one type of entertainer believes they are entitled to "express themselves" while performing.
All these rules are in the contract players sign. They are paid millions. Every single one of these rules, makes perfect sense. Just because you get away with it for a while, doesn’t make it acceptable. Just because your accessory sends a nice message, doesn’t mean it’s not against the rules. The fact there are so many people breaking these rules, intentionally, and for their own momentary gain, tells you exactly why the rules exist. Imagine how out of control this would get if the NFL just allowed players to do what they want? With all these rules and fines, there are athletes constantly trying to get away with breaking them. It would be out of control so fast and the game would quickly turn into players trying to “one-up” each other, or prioritizing “There brand,” whenever possible.
I'll get on board with breast cancer awareness when prostate cancer awareness gets equal coverage.

Basically the nfl rules suck

OBJ’s joker cleats were soooo hard 🔥🃏😮💨
The custom cleats and visors are amazing players should be able to wear them
They did Dion sanders dirty
As an O-Lineman, I always wanted as much face mask as possible.
Every sentence this dude speaks sounds like it's reported seperately. This is basically a south park skit gone real life.
The brand name thing goes back to the '85 Bears. Walter Payton and Jim McMahon would wear ROOS and Addidas headbands while on the sidelines because those were their choice of sneakers. I don't even think they were being paid. Pete Rozelle told them to stop..... so McMahon showed up at the next game with a headband that said ROZELLE on it.
The situation with DeAngelo Williams was just unforgivable, and it made me angry.
Jaylen Brown your next video Nonstop Sports 💪💪💪
the deion sanders bandana is crazy
THE MASK ON THE COVER GO HARDDDDDD FR🥶
Unless you wear BLM or anti-America gear, then you can wear those in whatever format you like and as bold as you like.
Sponsors of the NFL write some big big checks to the NFL so don" t piss the sponsors off
If you watch the 85 Bears Super Bowl Jim McMahon had issues with the league doing the same. If they allow one then many will be asking so they say no to all.
The NFL should lose its authority to issue fines immediately. It should have never existed.
The nfl needs to lighten up on the accessories policy let the players express themselves
Some of these fines are ridiculous.
NFL just a bunch a damn haters
Whoever is reading this I Pray that God and Jesus Christ be with you Amen✝️🙏🧡❤️💕
Not allowing watches is common sense. Imagine tackling someone and getting your finger caught and it twists and snaps.
The NFL when players are getting CTE and developing opioid problems: 😴😴😴
The NFL when a player wears cleats with different colors: 🤬🤯😡
