Chad Johnson's shoes (1 Viewer)

[Gottabesweet]

Ok so if anyone's watching countdown.

His shoes have pictures of him scoring td's oon the back and half the sides.

The NFL said he's getting fined for warming up in them!

If he don't take them off in the locker room prior to the game more infractions can occur

NO FUN LEAGUE

BOOO!

He's not bothering anyone.

Don't you hate it when an employer can make rules about what their employees can wear to work, and then enforce it.

He has the brand the league makes him wear on his cleats. He put pictures on his shoes. He has the proper one's on. Who caresLet the guy wear um. Taking all the fun out of the game.

 

[wilked]

Glad to see the NFL making idiots like him pay

 

[Gottabesweet]

All these old timers don't know how to have fun!

The clip with him at mcdonalds and buying cd's was hilarious and then going to the bank and take out fine money...

Ohhh nooo thats nothing to him.... If your glad they keep making him pay you'd think he'd stop right? NOPE

CJ the man!

WILL BLOW UP TONIGHT

Why, ... I do! If it doesn't interfere with my job, don't tell me what to wear.

I could care less if he wears clown shoes with the reebok logo on it. The league gets to set the image that is presented for all of the employees. Chad can either play by the rules, or join the Arena football league. You make it seem like Chad is the only guy in the world that needs to abide by a dress code.

Go play in the arena league, be serious now... or he can be fined 5k to 15k and keep doing it because the NFL NEEDS players like Chad.Heck the NFL needs TO because the media loves to follow him because the stupid things he does.

Chad is a huge ego-maniac.

His act is annoying. If TO had these shoes on you would abuse the heck out of him. But CJ is just so cool.

I want to watch football, not a sideshow.

I'd love to hear how the analogy is irrelevant. NFL sets the rules.. This is their league. Much as I need to wear a suit each day to work, and you get to wear a paper hat that says McDonalds on it. The employer sets the rules of how they want their employees to be represented. Plus if your idea of fun football is what Chad is wearing on his feet you have bigger problems than this thread will be able to address.

When an employer makes you wear your suit to work or makes a salesman wear a uniform, there's a reason--a point. If you walked into Staples to buy a computer and the salesman was dressed in a 5XL jersey and jean shorts, you'd be less likely to buy a computer. Thus, the employer is justified in that the uniform policy helps his business.When you watch Chad Johnson play football and see his shoes are you turned away in disgust? Are you never going to watch another NFL game because of Chad Johnson's shoes? Do you even notice his shoes? The analogy doesn't work dude, plain and simple.

[bjabrad]

don't like the previous examples, well how about the clown in your fantasy league that pushes every rule and finds every loophole and when he breaks a rule just to be a jerk calling attention to himself you fine his sorry ###. How do you like that analogy?

The NFL has rules in place concerning dress code that helps them to protect their image and brand. The Yankees don't like facial hair, the NBA doesn't like gangsta thugs in their family entertainment game and the NFL doesn't like it when players remove their helmets and try to promote themselves instead of their team.

Wrong, The NBA likes players punching eachother during games. The yankees thing is traditon.

i've honestly never heard of somebody being fined in a fantasy football league and i really don't know what you're getting at here.

What if Chad wants to wear pants that have pictures of him all over them, is that okay? What if every other player can add their own wrinkle to the uniform. Maybe different colored socks. Maybe a small picture of Chad on the helmet. Maybe roll one pant leg up. You can see how you have to set the line somewhere so everyone looks basically the same. None of those things impact playing the game, but it begins to draw attention to a single player which the NFL doesn't want their image to be. The NFL gets to set rules how they see fit.Hopefully you see where the problem starts, and why the analogy does in fact work.

Nobody is doing that.Look, I'm not saying the rule isn't necessary, I'm not even commenting on the rule. But your analogy was simply bad. Nobody is hurting the NFL's image here, and thus your analogy is irrelevant.

There are several office jobs in which nobody except the employees who work there see the other employees every day. And they still have to abide by a dress code. I suppose you have a problem with this as well then, right?And again...this isn't an "analogy." An analogy is when youshow a similarity between two things, then show the conclusion of one and say that the same conclusion should be used for the other. He wasn't doing that at all when he said an "employer was an enforcing a dress code"; He was describing the exact situation.

Obviously the NFL does feel that these things impact the NFL image which is why they have the rules in place.

The dress code provides a professional environment to work in. Again, no I don't have a problem with this because it is beneficial to the business.And yes, it is an analogy. He's comparing his job's dress code to the NFL's dress code. Unless his job is the NFL, it's not the same thing.

 

[bigtyme]

I don't see how this is really even a debate.

NFL = Employer

Players = Employees

There is a dress code enforced by the employer on the employees, just like thousands of other corporations, businesses, and even other pro sports. While I personally think the handling of Chad's cleats is harsh there is no debate or scandal here, he is breaking the dress code of his employer, plain and simple. It doesn't matter HOW or WHY he is breaking the dress code rule, he just is, so thus there is a fine and removal of the inappropriate item.

 

[Dreamer]

People tend to forget what the word uniform really means.

 

[EugeneChung]

Chad is a huge ego-maniac.

I think he has proved to be a pretty good team player this year. As they were losing he kept quiet and only when it looked like the playoffs were out of the question did he voice his discontent with not getting the ball. Granted, I did get to reap the rewards of his little outburst.
