Niners tight end George Kittle has incurred a fine exceeding $13,000 for donning a t-shirt bearing the phrase “Fuck Dallas” during the recent game against the Cowboys.
Kittle discreetly wore the shirt, which was designed in the Cowboys’ customary colors, beneath his uniform and unveiled it while celebrating a teammate’s touchdown. Moreover, the shirt served as a tribute to former Niner Gary Plummer, who had worn a similar shirt during the 1994 playoffs against the Cowboys. Nevertheless, the NFL had been deliberating on imposing a fine throughout the week. Typically, a violation of the uniform policy involving a personal message warrants a fine slightly exceeding $10,000.
Despite these circumstances, Kittle displayed a nonchalant attitude towards the proceedings. When questioned about the potential consequences for his actions, he responded, “I probably expected to receive a fine. I wore a personalized t-shirt, which may have contained an inappropriate word. Thus, I accept the outcome. It was a decision I consciously made, and if they choose to impose a fine, I will accept it.” Furthermore, Kittle expressed no remorse regarding the situation, affirming, “Without a doubt, I would repeat the same action.”
