The running back The New Orleans Saints was fined $ 5,000 by the NFL after wearing a pair of red and green studs that didn’t match its uniform colors as they rushed for six touchdowns on the day. for Christmas. Apparently, the league will not even bend the rules when a player sets a record of 91 years.
Kamara was also fined $ 6,079 for wearing similar-themed boots in 2017 during Christmas.
“If he fines me, whatever it is, I will match it and donate it to charity,” Kamara said after his historic performance in a 52-33 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. – You know, the Grinch is always trying to steal Christmas.
Kamara had not yet been informed of his latest fine when he spoke to the media on Thursday. He joked, “I think they were cute this year. I didn’t get anything for Christmas; I think I’ll count that as my Christmas present.”
Fines for uniform violations do not go directly to the NFL. These are donated to former player programs that are mutually agreed upon by the league and the NFL Players Association.
Kamara’s six-touchdown performance also inspired more than $ 20,000 in charitable donations from fantasy football managers who had him on the championship lists. As of Thursday night, the Son of a Charity Saint whom Kamara claims has received $ 21,000 from nearly 40 donors in his honor.
