Chris Cooley: Don't Get Fined

i disagree boot camp is a bit different then the nfl. They do what they love and got in the nfl on pure passion. You joined bootcamp because you cant afford a college education and need a job lol. the dress code is rediculous just let them play. This league is getting stupid with the lame hit penalties and dress code policies. i agree some regulation is required however the commissioner is taking it too far

So a warrior or a combatant cannot be passionate about being a warrior or a combatant? I believe you can.

The dress code is about professionalism. A professional soldier has a dress code, a professional business man has a dress code, a professional doctor has a dress code, a professional football player has a dress code. Some may be more stringent than others, so what. I like uniformity personally. Even if I don't and somebody wants to pay me big money to play a sport that I am passionate about under the stipulation that I follow their rules, then I am going to follow them.

I'm surounded by the military and alot of them join because its what they want to do and yes some join because of financial reasons. I'd also say there is a small % of football players that play just for the money and not the love for the game. The reason for the dress code is to set a standard that all players must follow which I feel is a good thing. Could you imagine what some of these players would wear if there was not a dress code? Do they go overboard at times? Yes, but its not that hard to put on the uniform thats provided, cleaned, and cared for by the team.
