A fine of 550,000 dollars (about 700 million won) came out in the American Professional Football (NFL). It is the highest amount ever
Associated Press reported on the 11th (Korean time) that the NFL Secretariat ordered the New Orleans Saints $350,000 and manager Dennis Allen $100,000, as well as New Orleans’ defensive end Cameron Jordan, who delayed the game by pretending to be injured during the game. It said coach Ryan Nielsen was fined $50,000 each. CBS Sports of the United States said, “The NFL Secretariat is trying to prevent the act of slowing down the game by faking an injury.”
The scene in question occurred on the 7th. It was a game in which New Orleans lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led by legendary quarterback Tom Brady. New Orleans, who led 16-3 until the end of the 4th quarter, allowed Cade Orton to score a touchdown with 3 minutes left in the game. Three seconds before the end, he gave a come-from-behind touchdown to Richard White, giving the game 16-17. Both touchdowns started at Brady’s fingertips. 메이저놀이터
Jordan of New Orleans complained of pain by pointing his left leg toward the bench at 7:34 in the 4th quarter when the Tampa Bay offense continued. As a result, the game was temporarily suspended. Tampa Bay’s offensive flow was cut off, but it succeeded in reversing after the game resumed. The NFL bureau judged this as an obvious ‘Hollywood action’ to pass the time. The Associated Press said, “The NFL has concluded that Jordan acted under direction from the bench.”
The New Orleans team reacted strongly. He said he would appeal. The New Orleans team immediately issued a statement and refuted the NFL’s judgment, saying, “Jordan actually felt pain in his foot and visited the medical tent during the game to be examined. Jordan also claimed through social media (SNS), “It’s a ridiculous decision. I don’t understand why the game was intentionally delayed in any scene.”
