NEW ORLEANS, LA. (THECOUNT) — The NFL is entering week 5 – by leveling a $7,000 fine on Saints’ Demario Davis – over his wearing of a headband with the phrase “Man of God” during week two, according to reports.
Reports say, Davis, a New Orleans linebacker and the team’s captain, took to Instagram to vent after he was fined for donning the religious headwear.
“So, I got fined $7K for my headband. Should I continue to wear it, or nah?” Davis wrote on Insta.
The NFL’s rule against players wearing “personal messages” during games has once again reared its ugly head, leading to a seemingly unnecessary fine.
It’s not clear whether the NFL would consider Davis to have committed another violation if he wore the headband again.
The minimum fine for a second offense would be $14,037, according to DiamondAndSilk.
