NFL head coaches Pete Carroll, Vic Fangio and Kyle Shanahan were fined for not wearing masks on Sunday. Roger Goodell dished out fines of $100,000 to each of them, and another $250,000 to the franchise.
Even though everyone playing in the games Sunday had tested negative for COVID-19, the NFL is concerned about optics. Six figures is a huge fine, so you have to think this was meant to send a message to the league.
NFL fined three head coaches – – Denver’s Vic Fangio, Seattle’s Pete Carroll and SF’s Kyle Shanahan – $100,000 each for not wearing masks Sunday, and each of their teams another $250,000, sources told ESPN.
So that’s $1.05 million dollars in fines for not wearing masks.
