Louie Aguiar, former Chiefs punter is Exhibit A of this. He is one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit suing the NFL for damages relating to concussions.

Aguiar barely got touched in his NFL career as a punter... much less received consistent direct hits to the head.
They appeal EVERY FINE. Even when it was blatantly flagrant or even illegal.

The players and their union are hypocrites and until they get that straight, I can't find myself to care how badly they get hurt.
