NFL fines son of former Saints player Craig Heyward for tribute to his late father

The fine sucks.
However, would we be discussing Brain Cancer or Cameron Heyward if Craig wasn't fined?

It is all about awareness.

“When I did it, I had no idea you weren’t allowed to do it,” Still said. “It was just something I wanted to do for my daughter to take her out on the field with me. I didn’t really get any backlash from the league.”

One thing to note is that all fines go to charity and I believe the player has a say to which charity gets the "donation". I am hoping that he keeps this up and every donation goes to his cancer fund of choice.
