The DeAngelo Williams situation is so awful, the fact that they would not let a player who lost many loved ones wear some simple eye black to commemorate them is baffling. Shame on the league for that.

The NFL let LaDamian Tomlinson wear a tinted face shield for his whole career. For one reason. Going back to his days at TCU he has a sensitivity to glaring light that would cause migraines. That had been documented for three years before he even enter the league so they gave him an exemption.

The banning the overbuilt facemask seemed counterintuitive at the time as it protected against eye injuries and stopped facemask calls. Still clueless to this day why they didn’t go forward with that design and just figure out a way to lighten the build.

Most of these rules are fueled by the NFL's greed, but jewelry ... I've played several different sportsover my lifetime and have never seen a single one that allowed watches, rings, earrings, necklaces, any kind of jewelry at all. Usually because it's a potential injury to themselves or others. Getting scraped by someone's watch or having an earing ripped out ... ouch.

The Justin Tuck grill style facemask looks sick. A little sad they banned it.

What they did to DeAngelo was not human.

"The league won't allow tinted visors because medical personel have to check the eyes in case there's a concussion... The league gets a lot of heat for not letting players costumise their equipment but most of them is for players safety. There's no bigger rules than the ones for concussions and head injuries" Tua: 👁👄👁

Devin Hester and his socks fines are ridiculous

If an accessory is not visible while the player is in full uniform, it should be allowed. It's literally not affecting gameplay in any way, shape or form. Banning bandanas just gave further evidence that league officials were on a power trip.

“No technology allowed” The tablets:

Imagine paying 100k for a drink

The Devin Hester sock fines was crazzzzzzzzy

nfl fines r such bs

Man NFL never let anybody have fun

I do believe that a large part of this comes down to limiting player empowerment. By not allowing for individuality in their gear, the players become much less distringuishable from their peers and it become harder for them to stand out, making them seem more interchangeable and less valuable as individual contributors in the scope of team success. This leads to less bargaining power and leverage in contract negotations over time.

Deion’s bandana under the helmet had nothing to do with style. It was about comfort. Some players find the padding and buttons underneath uncomfortable.

Ray Lewis wasnt "forced" to give up the grill style facemask, he only wore it once and it was during his last year in 2012.

imagine being charged an average dude's monthly salary because you wanted to wear a different colored shoe

Your just going to ignore Ricky Williams who rocked sick looking tint on his helmets in the early 00s.

Antiono brown not wanting to switch his helmet is so ironic.

No one should be even considering a 10 year old helmet. The professional organization that certifies helmets for other sports doesn't recommend using equipment from a certification from over 10 years ago.

there's a reason it's called the "no fun league"

As a giants fan Justin tuck was a god with that mask 😂

Agree with no watches and anything compromising the safety of anyone on the field

Wearing jewelry and watches is dangerous... In high school football practice 1995, I cut my hand playing cornerback, the receiver had on a watch, while I was defending him, his watch slashed me along the side of my pinky finger, our coach made him remove the watch... Sooo I agree with the NFL on this one...

I remember way back in the day player use to use double sided sticky tape to tape their jerseys to their pads & lightly spray Pam on their jerseys . See their jerseys are made of polyester which is already slippery it just made it harder to hold on to & the sticky tape would make it so the jersey couldn’t be ripped from the pads making it harder to grab , smart ideal , even their pants are polyester so imagine the possibility at that time .

The most surprising part of this video is the fact that the Chicago Bears ACTUALLY played in a Super Bowl after the 1985 season! Wowooo!!

Imagine the NFL without these rules. It would be one massive bling fest. All the players would look like Mr T.

I'm not sure if there is still a policy in place for the colour of cleats any more. Recently A J Brown of the Eagles switched to pink cleats and the announcers claimed he was wearing them so that his daughter could find him on the field. Perhaps they were lying and telling a feel good story.

Wearing a watch on the field is a legit safety hazard. Who thinks bringing a wearable snag hazard made of glass and metal is a good idea?

A lot of these (but definitely not all) make a ton of sense. They have to protect their partners from competing brands, so no wonder they outlaw showing other brands. It's no wonder they don't allow a watch on the field - edges could cut an opponent. OBJ just thinks he's so special it'd only apply to him but he's wrong.

Bro let’s crazy how they don’t let them were custom cleats but other leagues do

5:10 “rayshard mill” 😂

The league: “no hard objects allowed in game” Guess we playin rugby now💀😂

Odells watch will forever be iconic. Idc what anyone says.

The players could argue all they want but I'm all for the restrictions. Give every player leeway and the field would look like a carnival. That's why it's called U-N-I-F-O-R-M. It gives a feeling of order and respect.

MJ was also fined 5k (if I remember correctly) for every game he wore his Air Jordans. Nike happily paid that fine.

As soon as I heard obj I knew I was in for a treat

The no fun league strikes again

Great video. Only thing is Ray Lewis wore that crazy face mask for his final ride and then retired. He wore the other one his entire career.

Didn’t Ladainian Tomlinson wear a tinted visor?

God bless you guys Always keep God first

They did Dion sanders dirty

You don't get carte blanche to, "express yourself" at work...this isn't news to anyone that has a job.

Sort of ironic that the NFL would fine a Christian phrase on a headband for a team literally named the Saints.

its called No Fun League for a reason

They need to outlaw long hair/dreads. At dome point, someone is going to get his hair caught in between the mask and helmet of another player during an especially violent hit, and one or both players is going to injure, or even break his neck.

Wow, poor Ray Lewis. He had to change his helmet 2 years after he retired.

Rishard Mill got me dying 😂

They can’t even have fun at the pro bowl? Lmao

The NFL players need to understand they work for league. They can always work for another league like USFL or XFL.

No wonder NFL stands for No Fun League.

the deion sanders bandana is crazy

Spooky thumbnail

Damn Antonio brown wanted to wear an old helmet😂, look at him now, maybe he regretted that😂

N.F.L (No Fun League)

Obj wild for the richard millie though lol

OBJ just don’t give a fuck 😂

OBJ’s joker cleats were soooo hard 🔥🃏😮‍💨

And regards to headbands Jim McMahon went through all that the 85-86 season

THE MASK ON THE COVER GO HARDDDDDD FR🥶

They are all under contract which means they are obligated to follow these rules. If they want these rules followed then they need to raise the fines. These guys are making millions. Their fine should be 50% their salary minimum

Some of these fines are ridiculous.

Okay but can we (should) all agree that playing with a watch is incredibly stupid, right?

There is a reason why it's known as the No Fun League.

The funny thing is they let them keep piecing in, wear jewellery like necklaces which most other sports consider to be dangerous but they’re more bother about purely cosmetic stuff because of financial reasons and branding.

I personally am glad about it. Football used to be about the football team not the individual.

You play in the NFL. They have rules you must abide by. If you don’t, you get fined. Pretty simple.

It has to be more behind it, no way lol thats wild to me

As an O-Lineman, I always wanted as much face mask as possible.

5:49 looks like am not going in😏

The custom cleats and visors are amazing players should be able to wear them

"We seriously have a kitchen nightmare" in

NFL- No Fashion League

This is the reason why the NFL is nicknamed the No Fun League

Sponsors of the NFL write some big big checks to the NFL so don" t piss the sponsors off

"ODELL, are those Hanes off-white socks? $5000 fine please." -NFL official.

Why are they letting the NFL get away with this garbage? It’s ridiculous.

love your vids

the nfl is stupid for being strict on everything for wearing something

If you watch the 85 Bears Super Bowl Jim McMahon had issues with the league doing the same. If they allow one then many will be asking so they say no to all.

i think almost all of these "conditions and rules" pissed me off greatly

League minimum salary is $750k. The players work for a private business that has rules and standards. If they don't like it I heard the CFL and UFL are hiring.

OBJ's in game Richard Mille was a 350.00 replica.

they should rename this "Things OBJ Wore For Attention"

The nfl needs to lighten up on the accessories policy let the players express themselves

I never knew about these.

NFL “No fun League”

DeAngelo and Demario's situations are f'd tbh

Every sentence this dude speaks sounds like it's reported seperately. This is basically a south park skit gone real life.

All these rules are in the contract players sign. They are paid millions. Every single one of these rules, makes perfect sense. Just because you get away with it for a while, doesn’t make it acceptable. Just because your accessory sends a nice message, doesn’t mean it’s not against the rules. The fact there are so many people breaking these rules, intentionally, and for their own momentary gain, tells you exactly why the rules exist. Imagine how out of control this would get if the NFL just allowed players to do what they want? With all these rules and fines, there are athletes constantly trying to get away with breaking them. It would be out of control so fast and the game would quickly turn into players trying to “one-up” each other, or prioritizing “There brand,” whenever possible.

Men, worrying about fashion, will never not be disappointing. From classical antiquity on.

They don't call it the NO FUN LEAGUE for nothing.

Some of these, like the situation with DeAngelo Williams seem harsh. But most are more than reasonable. Like, oh it's so sad that for a few hours a week, while you're at work, you aren't allowed to totally express yourself. How cruel and terrible! Give me a break. And it's not about self expression. Players do this to make money. NFL games are seen by tens of millions of people, and that can jump into the hundreds of millions for playoff/SB games. You don't think companies would love to have players wearing their products and getting that free marketing in front of those millions of eyes? And you don't think players cash in on that? So to me it's real simple. You're at work. Wear your work clothes. You'll survive. You have plenty of time to express yourself or whatever when you're not working.

Jaylen Brown your next video Nonstop Sports 💪💪💪

I don't care what color cleats a player wears. It doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game. However, think of the word "uniform", and it's definition. Many people must follow rules concerning dress at work. Players are paid a lot of money to play a game. They don't like not being able to do whatever they want. How important is this really? It all seems petty and silly to me.

Now I think a few of these are silly but personally I do appreciate the uniformity. Like I don't want to see 22 walking bill boards on the field. I think there should be some leeway with shoes and some minor things. But one thing that makes most American Sports so nice is the lack of sponsor ships on the players. Usually it is just the manufacture of the jersey/apparel. And a few of these like OBJ watch are clearly him pushing the boundaries.

If their is a “ channel nightmare” I’m sure pewdiepie will be in the role of Gordon Ramsey

5:39 AYYYOOOOO🤔🤔🤔🤔

The NFL needs to see this
