Falcons fined $350,000 and lose 2016 fifth round draft pick

[†William Moore†]

Arthur Blank is worth $2.5 billion. A fine of $350,000 equates to .00014% of his net worth. If an average American is worth $500,000, the fine would be the same as $70.

5th? Hell why not just do it again.

Once again the NFL fails to do the right thing...

Looks like the NFL is going light on crime.

[MV%doe]

Terrible.

So what they didn't benefit, its still clear breaking of the rules over TWO years.

Just BS. Cheating is fine, cause $350,000 is pennies for any nfl owner. I bet blank can even write that off in his taxes too. 2016? 5th? Thats like a 2015 6th, o god there gos one ST tackler.... rich mmmmmmkay will be back shortly. Total fake BS.

Hmmmm!!! I was expecting a more severe penalty than the loss of a 5th rd draft election.

All 32 owners pay his 40 million a year salary. They are all his buddies.

Thank god someone said it before I did.

5th round pick??? That's crazy.  The nfl is just crazy.  Should be at least a 3rd if not a second.  So cheating doesn't really cost that much in the NFL.  Interesting...........KEEP POUNDING!
