The NFL has fined San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and two other coaches for not following rules about keeping their faces covered. Here, Shanahan walks off the field after his team's Sept. 13 game against the Arizona Cardinals.The NFL has fined several head coaches $100,000 for not wearing face masks on the sidelines — a safety precaution that is required at games during the COVID-19 pandemic. The coaches' teams were also punished, with $250,000 fines.
The coaches include Pete Carroll of Seattle, Kyle Shanahan of San Francisco and Vic Fangio of Denver, according toThe fines were issued after the NFL completed the second week of games, all of which have been played in stadiums that are either empty of fans or at sharply reduced capacity due to concerns about the possible spread of the coronavirus.
Carroll, Shanahan and Fangio have all worn neck gaiters during their teams' first two games, but each of them has often been seen with the covering pushed down below their chin. Carroll's opponent in Sunday night's game was New England coach Bill Belichick, who wore a traditional face mask but also put his own spin on it. The coach, known for his unique style, sometimes pushed the mask down below his mouth — but he also shoved it far up
Since I don't watch the NFL, I really couldn't give the proverbial rat's behind who or what they fine and how much.
Here's a quarter(million), call someone who cares.
That's stupid. You've got 22 guys doing hand to hand combat and .. mask? Idiocy.
Good!
Dumb jocks
good
Good I'm sure they had all the rules read to them they probably even signed a contract stating they would follow them I'm a 49er fan but they should have wore masks
What is that money for. They watched the whole game without saying a word to them. A bunch ov money grabbers.
Screw you NFL and especially you goodell! Screw you all for penalizing those coaches for not wearing masks! Any NFL team that comes to Guerrillaville to play on our gridiron wearing masks, GuerrillaKarens will make you take your panties off and make you wear them on your head's
I hoped it was donated to the COVID-19 pandemic (relief fund) WOULDNT THAT BE RESPONSIBLE OF THE NFL
Ooh tough
The no mask PARLAY absolute lock
This should have been easy for them. Coaches already hide behind paper and clipboards so no one can lip read the plays. Masks make hiding easy.

Good!
As it should be, thank you for diligence and attention to public health!
The cool guy surfer dude Pete Carroll gives no shits about other people?
I support anything that does harm to the 'new NFL', even if involves hysteria over kung-flu.
The NFL is not longer allowed in my home, I regained hours of time that I wasted watching their games
Only three? From what I saw there could have been more for sure.
The murderer hasn't been fined yet. TrumpLied200KAmericansDied
What does the NFL do with these fines? I suggest they donate them to families of Americans who have died from COVID. NFL COVID19 pandemic
💛
Good.
Lol better vote joe Biden !!
They were warned
Where does that money go? Charity. I hope !!
They are outside with players they are with all week and they are all regularly tested. This is just the NFL virtue signaling.
This is what the NFL is concerned about when the players are pretty much on top of one another.
Hopefully no life losses are the result of that.
When someone is fined in this situation...where does the money go? Would it be too much to hope that the NFL would donate it to local hospitals or a food bank or some other entity helping to alleviate suffering during a pandemic? Or does the NFL sit back and laugh and keep the $?
It's just for public perception. 'The NFL is taking masks verrrrry seriously'
Bless their hearts...
Leaders need to set examples. How hard is this?
Good.
