Texans Running Back Fined $25,000!
It seems like a highly frustrating situation for Joe Mixon. The NFL’s response appears to be somewhat confusing and inconsistent, especially when you consider how the fines were issued for quotes that weren’t even his. Mixon’s comment wasn’t even a direct criticism of the refs, but more of a general statement on the importance of playing a complete game and not leaving things up to the officials, which seems pretty reasonable.
The fact that the NFL didn’t rescind the first fine after issuing a second one just adds to the frustration. It’s not just a matter of a fine being unjustified; it’s about the league failing to properly address the situation and clarify things.
Mixon calling out the NFL for this only seems fair at this point, and his agent’s response about legal recourse shows they’re serious about fighting this. It’ll be interesting to see if this case sets a precedent for players challenging fines that they feel are unjust, especially when those fines are based on inaccurate information. What’s your take on it? Do you think Mixon has a strong case here?
