George Kittle had a huge game against the Cowboys on Sunday when he caught three (!!!) touchdowns in one game after not having a single one through any of the four games before.
That didn’t end up being the main story with him after the game, though.
Instead, everybody was talking about the NSFW undershirt he wore taking a shot at Dallas. It was a pretty cool reveal if you ask me. Sure, Micah Parsons might’ve been a little upset about it. But, man. The theater here is excellent.
As it turns out, though, Parsons isn’t the only one upset. The NFL is reportedly considering fining Kittle for his t-shirt, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
NFL is considering fining 49ers’ TE George Kittle for the T-shirt he wore Sunday night vs. the Cowboys that contained a profane message about the Cowboys. Under the terms of the NFL’s fine schedule, personal messages carry a fine of $10,927. pic.twitter.com/xxdtEXG0cZ

Boooooooooo. Come on, NFL. Y’all are better than this, right?
According to Schefter, Kittle could potentially be fined just under $11,000 by the league if it does choose to come down on him for being hilarious and cool. That would be a bummer. But it’s also kind of par for the course with this league — the NFL has been repeatedly fining Tyreek Hill for uniform violations. Should Hill be wearing socks? Absolutely. But come on. Who is he hurting, NFL? Relax a little.
Naturally, fans hated everything about this.

They should give him a reverse fine. Which is when the NFL pays him for wearing an awesome shirt. https://t.co/V0d8z8Oekv

So the @NFL fines Jefferson $11K for his "too small gesture" but is just *checks notes* considering fining Kittle for this? It's hard to convince fans you are fair and impartial when you do stuff like this. https://t.co/uBtjIUfyhM

To be fair, it's not a personal message. It's a global message. @gkittle46 https://t.co/zLnJpML3BF
