I get it! Lmao clever shirt he's got there... The NFL is some busters for fining him though, petty

... The lady thought it was pretty punny too....

Actually, Adidas got fined. RG Jr. Jr. won't pay a penny of that $10,000.

They will pay his fine - directly or indirectly.

Now that you mention this, I wonder how the NFL collects. Do they dock a paycheck or what? Anyone know?

I think the team docks their pay. Then Adidas sends him a check.

Is that true? Good for him. The NFL is so stupid sometimes.

So you think Adidas will send Griff an additional check for $10,000 after he pays his fine? Or maybe they built in that amount already to whatever they paid him in the first place? Or maybe they send him a monthly check and the next one will be for $10,000 more than usual? Or some other scenario?

Are you just guessing or sort of joking in your Deadman way or do you have some info you can point me to?

I'm actually quite curious.

I couldn't find anything where it said Adidas would pay the fine, but I remember reading that about the previous fine he got for covering up the Nike logo. I did find an old article where Nike paid Michael Jordan's fine from the NBA when his shoe colors didn't match. I can't imagine Adidas would do any less, especially with all the free publicity they are getting out of this.

Dig it. I am sure they will get at least another $10,000 in publicity and the fine goes to charity as well. Win win ... at least.

I wouldn't mind a shirt now that you mention it lmao
