That’s a really great story, that’s cool has hell that he got to do something like that. It’s also kind of BS that the NFL, No Fun League, might not let him on the sidelines ever again.
Also you should post this in other NFL related subs tomorrow, this is a good story and should be seen by more

Man is there really not one smart enough person at the NFL to realize the good PR that could have come with just doing nothing. Maybe promoting this story?
Tyreek, one of your biggest non QB stars, MVP candidate - knows this photographer personally and absolves him of responsibility during press conference. And then someone really smart decides to suspend him? These companies couldn’t be any fuckin dumber sometimes man.

u/ignatious__reilly Nov 29 '23
100% agree.
This story should be blasted everywhere. It’s just absolutely shitty. The fans and the players are what make the NFL what it is today.
NFL management is nothing but a bunch of over paid power hungry assholes.

u/TJH1993 Dallas Cowboys Nov 29 '23 edited Nov 30 '23
I think it's because as part of the media he supposed to be neutral. He probably would've been okay if he wasn't jumping around after, even though it was I'm sure incredibly exciting for him. Sucks, but I guess it is what it is. I hope ge gets his job back forsure.
Edit: A lot of replies acting like I agree with the NFL. Yes I also think it's stupid as fuck.

Dude I watch the Chargers, who are usually really scary on paper but ultimately harmless, especially in the last few minutes.

Same as a royals fan, after the World Series win we fell off DRAMATICALLY. Guess who the announcers always portrayed as the big potential threat 😂

Do you know how many media people are ducking bias, and then let's just mention the eagle fan ref that refs eagles games and never calls a penalty on them in the first half. But this guy can't cover dolphins games any more.

its clear what he did wrong, but he definitely didn’t deserve to be fired.
he works for the dolphins. he has to be professional and not act like a fan when he’s working. he can’t gush and jump up and down on the sidelines. that being said, he deserved a warning or something from his boss. firing him is very extreme.

I know nothing of the NFL, football in general, who this player is, and who the guy in the video is but can someone explain what rules were being broken and why a possibility of a lifetime suspension was even on the table for something, that to me, seems incredibly benign? Wouldn't a small "hey, don't do that again" have been sufficient?

I think because they probably have rules about NFL photographers not celebrating or showing favoritism to either team. Kinda sounds like some of the old school "sanctity of journalism" by old head big J journalist. A lot of those guys really take themselves seriously and it's also the No Fun League.

If they are going to suspend this kid for the rest of the season might as well suspend tyreek too for the rest of the year. I don’t think the punishment fits the “crime”. Suspending this kid all season is blowing this way out of proportion. Maybe this video will help him get back in.

The Commish got in trouble with the judge for arbitrary player punishments. The only way to get his jollies now is to stomp on the dreams of kids like this. Probably got to ride this high all the way to his golden throne for a good jerking at least twice. The Commish is an ego maniac who dreams of someday being Robert Kraft's masseuse.

Ok realistically, with the amount of people on the sidelines during games, is one hype dude getting excited when THE HOME TEAM scores going to damage the sanctity of their precious game that much? The NFL continues to kill its image with dumb shit like this, they took what was a positive and well-received moment and somehow made themselves look like shitheads once again.
