In my Google Reader, I found an article title Jets Fined $100,000 For Sideline Trip. The article tells how the New York Jets were fined by the NFL because their Coach tripped a Miami Dolphins player on the sideline in a game. The league fined the team because they wanted to emphasize that clubs are accountable for the actions of their employees. I found this very interesting in that the Coach was not fined. He was suspended but he should have been fined also. The club has millions and I doubt that $100,000 is going to hurt them. However, if the coach was fined than he would think twice for deliberately tripping another player running down the field. I think this sends the wrong message to Coaches.
