On the heels of Marshawn Lynch being fined $10,000 over his Skittles inspired cleats he wore last week, New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker is being fined $10,000 for wearing an unauthorized hat. A hat he’s been wearing after games and during interviews all season.
Wes Welker was fined $10,000 by the league for wearing an “unauthorized hat during his postgame interview,” according to a league spokesman.
The hat in question is a Bonk Breaker hat. Bonk Breaker is a gluten free, dairy free energy bar and Welker is an investor in the company.
Welker isn’t too happy about having to fork over $10,000 for some nonsense.
“Got fined by the NFL for wearing a @Bonk_Breaker hat in an interview after the game,” Welker wrote. “Thanks for warning me the other 16 weeks I wore the hat.”
At least give the man a warning if you have a problem with it. It’s like getting wrote up at work for something you did 9 months ago. It’s good that the NFL has their priorities together reagrding whta you can get fined for.

The NFL's fining policy is a joke. $10,000 for sneakers and a HAT?!
There are some fans who will defend the policy.
