Carr Fined by the NFL

The No Fun League fined Derek Carr $14,000, which amounts to 20% of his weekly salary, for his Michael Jackson dance moves. For additional hypocrisy, read the article.

Actually it's only a tad over 1% percent of his adjusted (restructured) annual income of $1.21 million. It was really only .037% of his average salary.

But, yes, pretty silly but at least it all goes to Carr's charity of choice.

From the article:
But it cost Carr $14,000. The NFL has found a way to have their cake and eat it, too. Because Carr restructured his contract this offseason to play on a veteran minimum salary in exchange for receiving a hefty signing bonus, he’s only getting $71,176 in weekly game checks during the season. So about a fifth of his Week 2 paycheck is going to cover this fine.

Put that way it seems more substantial.

I wonder what charity he's donating it to?

Society and media did everything they could to tear down Michael Jackson at the end. Seems like they want to keep going.

My 15 YO daughter loves MJ. I guess he’s not been tainted too badly for her generation.
