Football Alex Smith Fined For Wearing San Francisco Giants Hat In Post Game Interview

listopencil · 05:25 PM

Smith revealed the fine today, saying he was told the Giants cap is non-sponsored gear of a competing league, and as such is off-limits during the 90 minutes after each game. Note that this doesn't apply to regular, non-sports clothing.

-snip-

Because someone in the NFL offices has a sense of what constitutes bad PR, the fine was quickly rescinded. But Smith was warned that if he does it again, he'll be out $15,000 each time. Fourteen more games, plus playoffs, that'd be upwards $210,000. We don't think Smith will be repping his Giants fandom so openly.
