The DeAngelo Williams situation is so awful, the fact that they would not let a player who lost many loved ones wear some simple eye black to commemorate them is baffling. Shame on the league for that.
The NFL let LaDamian Tomlinson wear a tinted face shield for his whole career. For one reason. Going back to his days at TCU he has a sensitivity to glaring light that would cause migraines. That had been documented for three years before he even enter the league so they gave him an exemption.
@@oscarorozco7368 But they also give an advantage to the player. Especially offense. One of the things my linebacker couch tried to teach us was to read the quarterback's eyes to know where the ball is going. Or as a DB is you can read the receiver's eyes you will know when the ball is in range and time it to make a play. FYI: I was never good enough or quick enough to do either. But we had guys that could.
Most of these rules are fueled by the NFL's greed, but jewelry ... I've played several different sportsover my lifetime and have never seen a single one that allowed watches, rings, earrings, necklaces, any kind of jewelry at all. Usually because it's a potential injury to themselves or others. Getting scraped by someone's watch or having an earing ripped out ... ouch.
They need to outlaw long hair/dreads. At dome point, someone is going to get his hair caught in between the mask and helmet of another player during an especially violent hit, and one or both players is going to injure, or even break his neck.
@@ICDUMPEPLcan be regarded as pretty discriminatory although Ive wondered that also. There was recently a hockey player in Europe that died during an in game freak accident and now they are mandating neck guards. Sometimes it takes something terrible to happen. Hopefully not tho
The banning the overbuilt facemask seemed counterintuitive at the time as it protected against eye injuries and stopped facemask calls. Still clueless to this day why they didn’t go forward with that design and just figure out a way to lighten the build.

@@rustleup-tf2jt you might get fined, but now the world knows you are FINE. sexy men always get endorsements. that 10k fine turned into 300k over 3 years contract from insert company.
I do believe that a large part of this comes down to limiting player empowerment. By not allowing for individuality in their gear, the players become much less distringuishable from their peers and it become harder for them to stand out, making them seem more interchangeable and less valuable as individual contributors in the scope of team success. This leads to less bargaining power and leverage in contract negotations over time.
Has exactly zero to do with these rules. It's a team game and allowing a competition for fashion attention would take away from the game. The NFL has built an impressive product due to its focus on such details.
Deion’s bandana under the helmet had nothing to do with style. It was about comfort. Some players find the padding and buttons underneath uncomfortable.
Not disagreeing with you. I believe that the reason why they did it was because of potential players rocking "gang colors" if they wore a blue or red one. Which is why they allowed the skull caps.
"The league won't allow tinted visors because medical personel have to check the eyes in case there's a concussion...

@@drak3y Great story, but you've totally missed the point. Again, the player with the long hair is not only doing something that is stupid in terms of risking his own health, but is also putting all of the other players on the field in danger. If you've ever played football, you are aware how things can get wrapped around the screws that affix one's mask to his helmet. So again, if a large strand of hair or dread gets caught in between another player's mask and helmet, and if it occurs when one or both are moving at high speed, one or both may be subjected to the same type of force that is experienced by people who are being dropped through the floor of a scaffold, with one end of a rope around the neck, and the other end tied to a gallows pole.
Wearing jewelry and watches is dangerous... In high school football practice 1995, I cut my hand playing cornerback, the receiver had on a watch, while I was defending him, his watch slashed me along the side of my pinky finger, our coach made him remove the watch... Sooo I agree with the NFL on this one...

I don't care what color cleats a player wears. It doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game. However, think of the word "uniform", and it's definition. Many people must follow rules concerning dress at work. Players are paid a lot of money to play a game. They don't like not being able to do whatever they want. How important is this really? It all seems petty and silly to me.
It is mainly about branding and image, which can be worth a lot of money. Like how top NBA players can earn more money though ads and brands the own/ have a stake in. The NFL doing this rules are half about safety and half making players more dependent on the NFL for income and make them more docile.
Exactly, players want money and attention, but they have to realize they are on The NFLs stage and the players are puppets, and for one they need to be more professional about the term uniform...
No one should be even considering a 10 year old helmet. The professional organization that certifies helmets for other sports doesn't recommend using equipment from a certification from over 10 years ago.
I remember way back in the day player use to use double sided sticky tape to tape their jerseys to their pads & lightly spray Pam on their jerseys . See their jerseys are made of polyester which is already slippery it just made it harder to hold on to & the sticky tape would make it so the jersey couldn’t be ripped from the pads making it harder to grab , smart ideal , even their pants are polyester so imagine the possibility at that time .
A lot of these (but definitely not all) make a ton of sense. They have to protect their partners from competing brands, so no wonder they outlaw showing other brands. It's no wonder they don't allow a watch on the field - edges could cut an opponent. OBJ just thinks he's so special it'd only apply to him but he's wrong.
@@soundsfromYYBY Nobody will see it, its a cultural thing for many people as well. There is no increased injury risk so there shouldn't be an issue with it, the fact that a bunch of old white billionaires can decide what some guy wears when playing a sport is ridiculous, that should only be the privilege of the researchers who try to increase the safety of the game.
Why would you wear a 350K watch during a NFL game? I can understand wearing on the sideline if you’re IR. But that is such a reckless use of too much money.
I'm not sure if there is still a policy in place for the colour of cleats any more. Recently A J Brown of the Eagles switched to pink cleats and the announcers claimed he was wearing them so that his daughter could find him on the field. Perhaps they were lying and telling a feel good story.
Football players are still only employees. The NFL and the teams are companies with owners that have assumed the risk. Players have to respect. Shit is getting out of hand.
The players could argue all they want but I'm all for the restrictions. Give every player leeway and the field would look like a carnival. That's why it's called U-N-I-F-O-R-M. It gives a feeling of order and respect.
They are all under contract which means they are obligated to follow these rules. If they want these rules followed then they need to raise the fines. These guys are making millions. Their fine should be 50% their salary minimum
I find it ironic how they ban "man of God" because it "expresses personal beliefs", yet they wont ban other shit that they force onto other people's helmets lmao. No fun league strikes again
Commenters don't realize that not allowing other brands adorn their players increases the advertising value of the NFL which in tern translates to higher salaries for the players. Allowing brands to be advertised "for free" by a player indirectly stifles the value of the league in the eyes of potential advertisers.

4:00 i didnt know making bank selling pink jerseys was different from those little eye patches. definitely didnt think breast cancer was a "sponsor competitor" 7:55 they really bored huh
All these rules are in the contract players sign. They are paid millions. Every single one of these rules, makes perfect sense. Just because you get away with it for a while, doesn’t make it acceptable. Just because your accessory sends a nice message, doesn’t mean it’s not against the rules. The fact there are so many people breaking these rules, intentionally, and for their own momentary gain, tells you exactly why the rules exist. Imagine how out of control this would get if the NFL just allowed players to do what they want? With all these rules and fines, there are athletes constantly trying to get away with breaking them. It would be out of control so fast and the game would quickly turn into players trying to “one-up” each other, or prioritizing “There brand,” whenever possible.
The brand name thing goes back to the '85 Bears. Walter Payton and Jim McMahon would wear ROOS and Addidas headbands while on the sidelines because those were their choice of sneakers. I don't even think they were being paid. Pete Rozelle told them to stop..... so McMahon showed up at the next game with a headband that said ROZELLE on it.
I'd say for like 60% of the things on this list I understand completely. Especially the hard objects, official brands, and the helmets. Not the breast cancer one tho
Its a uniform man, imagine if all 53 players on the roster had different messages/sponsors/jokes/whatever on their face, that's a real slippery slope. It would look like Nascar out there 😂
@Rudipu I think this is a little difference since the NFL has its own Breast Cancer awareness merch and events. I think if it's a cause that aligns with whatever the NFL does, it should be fine.

Of course they need to define rules like "no personal messages" because otherwise, who should judge wether or not a personal message is acceptable or not. The next player comes up with a racist or politically extreme personal message...no, no...this is a team sport, if they want to make a statement, use media
Still have rights. Protests are meant to be public disruptions. That’s the entire point.
@@lucasmurphy740 Your rights go out the door when someone else is paying you to do a job. Why don't all of your rights people donate 50% of their pay to the poor? Show your ass is all you want.
@@maxniemand975 won’t someone think of the owners 😭. did the owners of the teams, stadiums, or any other authority throw them out? No? Then idk what you’re arguing about. Other than that you don’t like seeing “racism bad” stickers.
@@maxniemand975 yes the nfl is a business run for money. Idk what that has to do with players kneeling or whatever you’re upset about.
@@lucasmurphy740 Nope. This is a private organization, not the Senate floor. They also have the right to fire you.
frick the nfl for fining him for having face paint that honors his mom
The $100k Vitamin Water fine was the NFL’s way of getting a piece of dude’s sponsorship. That’s all.
They get paid so much, their "swag" overfloweth all over the field.
all these fines for using and drinking things that any regular person would be able to do freely all sounds like a great class action lawsuit.
congratulations you just put the hammer to the nail of the problem with our consumerism society!
Regular people aren't signing contracts, etc.
@@ardascholar5289 There's no free rides. If you want to advertise, then you nave to pay like every one else.
As an O-Lineman, I always wanted as much face mask as possible.
Obj wild for the richard millie though lol
The league: “no hard objects allowed in game”
Guess we playin rugby now💀😂
Single handedly the most stupid comment Ive ever seen
I'll get on board with breast cancer awareness when prostate cancer awareness gets equal coverage.
The funny thing is they let them keep piecing in, wear jewellery like necklaces which most other sports consider to be dangerous but they’re more bother about purely cosmetic stuff because of financial reasons and branding.
That’s even worse when the NFL player honor his mom and they do that to 3:17 him? that is pure sick and cruel
It has to be more behind it, no way lol thats wild to me
NFL rules are stupid. Hope everyone that makes them all magically disappear on scheduled flight.
4:00 i didnt know making bank selling pink jerseys was different from those little eye patches. definitely didnt think breast cancer was a "sponsor competitor"
7:55 they really bored huh
Whoever is reading this I Pray that God and Jesus Christ be with you Amen✝️🙏🧡❤️💕
The NFL needs to see this
OBJ’s joker cleats were soooo hard 🔥🃏😮💨
Every sentence this dude speaks sounds like it's reported seperately. This is basically a south park skit gone real life.
OBJ just don’t give a fuck 😂
The nfl needs to lighten up on the accessories policy let the players express themselves
bruh OBJ prolly on the league hit list at this point lol
i can see that. i like him alot but i can just see covert ops spying on him and reporting back to Roger
@@mattalan6618 exactly 😆😆
the nfl is stupid for being strict on everything for wearing something
And regards to headbands Jim McMahon went through all that the 85-86 season
All these rules are in the contract players sign. They are paid millions. Every single one of these rules, makes perfect sense. Just because you get away with it for a while, doesn’t make it acceptable. Just because your accessory sends a nice message, doesn’t mean it’s not against the rules. The fact there are so many people breaking these rules, intentionally, and for their own momentary gain, tells you exactly why the rules exist. Imagine how out of control this would get if the NFL just allowed players to do what they want? With all these rules and fines, there are athletes constantly trying to get away with breaking them. It would be out of control so fast and the game would quickly turn into players trying to “one-up” each other, or prioritizing “There brand,” whenever possible.
The brand name thing goes back to the '85 Bears. Walter Payton and Jim McMahon would wear ROOS and Addidas headbands while on the sidelines because those were their choice of sneakers. I don't even think they were being paid. Pete Rozelle told them to stop..... so McMahon showed up at the next game with a headband that said ROZELLE on it.
I'd say for like 60% of the things on this list I understand completely. Especially the hard objects, official brands, and the helmets. Not the breast cancer one tho
Its a uniform man, imagine if all 53 players on the roster had different messages/sponsors/jokes/whatever on their face, that's a real slippery slope. It would look like Nascar out there 😂
@Rudipu I think this is a little difference since the NFL has its own Breast Cancer awareness merch and events. I think if it's a cause that aligns with whatever the NFL does, it should be fine.
The situation with DeAngelo Williams was just unforgivable, and it made me angry.
they should rename this "Things OBJ Wore For Attention"
