Kaepernick sure has been dishing out a lot of money this season due to these fines and its only week 7!
Last month, Kaepernick was fined $11, 025 for using “offensive language” to Bears DE Lamarr Houston but after winning “half” of his appeal it was reduced to $5,512.
But how do you win half of an appeal? Well according to Fox Sports, while Kaepernick wasn’t fined for using the racial slur he was still fined for using “general profane language” on the field which is still in violation of the rules, which resulted in half the fine.
”It should’ve all been gone,” Kaepernick said. ”If you’re going to say I used a racial slur and come back and say I didn’t say it, then I don’t know what I’m being fined for.”
In true fashion, no athletes anger is complete without a tweet/IG post (its not real unless its on twitter).
