NFL Criticized for Not Punishing Rams DE Myles Garrett for Breaking NFL Rules
The NFL drew criticism after reportedly calling the Rams over Myles Garrett, but not punishing him for breaking league rules.
The Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett found himself in hot water after not adhering to NFL rules during Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills. Despite not playing, Garrett was present at the game and supported his teammates from the sidelines. He wore a black Jumpman tracksuit with teal and blue accents, and a Rams cap, but not the team-issued blue-and-yellow gear.
NFL compliance policy states that players should only display approved league partners' logos, with other brands' logos covered or removed. The NFL's handling of Garrett's situation has drawn criticism from some fans, who believe the Rams and their players are receiving special treatment from the league. This decision comes after the league rescinded various fines for player celebrations, including the 49ers Kyle Juszczyk's juice-chugging celebration.
The controversy also arises amid a disappointing start for the Rams, who are currently 2-3 and hosting the 1-4 Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 18.
