NFL Levies Heavy Punishment on Cowboys, Saints for Fighting at Practice
The Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints couldn't stop brawling at their joint practice earlier this week. The NFL is not happy.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced his intention to appeal the $500,000 fine imposed by the NFL for a practice fight against the New Orleans Saints. Jones stated that he will impose additional fines on individual Dallas Cowboys players involved in the incident. The fine was levied on both the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints for the altercation that occurred during a joint practice on Tuesday.
Jones acknowledged the NFL's stance on prohibiting fighting in practice during training camp, emphasizing the need for consequences to be enforced. "You have to have consequences and that needs to register," Jones remarked. He highlighted the importance of players being sensitive to the repercussions of their actions, both on and off the field.
While the NFL will impose the fine, Jones assured that he will also penalize individual Cowboys players for their roles in the infractions.
