NFL Players Fined Heavily

The NFL has very specific rules and regulations regarding

their uniforms and the league will not hesitate to

impose heavy fines on any player who breaks those rules.

This week, George Odom received a hefty $5,305 fine after

[{"selector":"#anim-c8b873e0-85c2-476b-83f8-31d707169888 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

San Francisco 49ers safety George Odom was charged by the league.

[{"selector":"#anim-121e020c-1d7b-409c-83ca-6261d9edb3ee [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The only problem is, Odom claims his knees were covered- photos as proof.

[{"selector":"#anim-23aa562e-8976-4aae-a770-0f030482a0be [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-39.63496754702407%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Based on the photo that Odom also shared, there's definitely a case

[{"selector":"#anim-f8530b91-bf10-4e9c-b3e9-8785e5b51103 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

in protecting the Niners. His knees were actually completely covered.

[{"selector":"#anim-b19444f6-11ac-4a4a-98e6-e54af78c5adb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Given his evidence, Odom will almost certainly try to appeal

[{"selector":"#anim-d2f70639-75c6-4683-bba8-8f7f59e57a26 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

against his fine. And he has a good chance of winning.
