This is just as, if not more ridiculous than the Chicago Bears violations. Apparently as a fan, your gift is to pay for the privilege to attend an NFL game and nothing more. F that front office.

NFL fines Saints RB Pierre Thomas

METAIRIE, La. -- Saints running back Pierre Thomas has been fined $12,500 for a uniform violation and a touchdown celebration in which he placed a bow on a football and gave it to a fan.

The fine for the celebration is $7,500. Thomas also violated NFL policies by wearing Christmas-themed green and red tape on his black and gold Saints uniform, and his fine for that is $5,000.

This. Imagine if Suh started carrying foreign objects on him. He'd use that bow to make a quarterback's head into a Christmas present.

5k for wearing colored tape (instead of white/black he would have used anyways probably) seems stupid.
