After the recent shocking accident, Jalen Ramsey expresses his rage towards the NFL as he has been probably fined the most for the NFL’s uniform violation. When asked about his safety in light of Tua’s injury on Saturday, Los Angeles Rams cornerback Ramsey expressed his disappointment to reporters.
Suggesting that the league holds even more crucial responsibilities in ensuring the safety of players than toiling over the color of their socks, Ramsey said to the reporters, “Player safety should be one of the most important things to talk about,” Ramsey said. “It should probably be talked about more. And then s— like getting fined for socks … or s— like getting fined for tights or B.S. or anything like that. … That needs to not be talked about as much.”

The 27-year-old CB has been fined for all 3 weeks of this season so far for uniform violations. According to his words, in Week 1, he was fined for wearing knee pads inappropriately, though the fine was decreased later after he made an appeal with evidence. In Week 2 and Week 3, he was again fined for not wearing the right pair of socks.
Calling NFL’s meticulous speculations on uniform “lame”, Jalen Ramsey, an All-Pro in 2017, mentioned the league is ought to “put an emphasis” on athletes’ well-being, not remarking him as “ ‘Oh his socks are too high’ or, ‘His socks are too low.’ ”
Ramsey, being audacious in his actions, stated that he has no intention of changing his mind and will continue to wear the same outfit this week. Furthermore, he said he is “ready” for the fine and is going to “figure out some charities to match the money and give it to.”
No doubt Ramsey’s performance on the ground portrayed the team’s spirit and integrity. He just wants to remain persistent in his “swaggy” persona. Fining an amount worth $10,000 just for wearing the wrong socks simply does “make no sense” to this Super Bowl champ.
