The Los Angeles Rams player spoke out about the NFL fining players for uniforms violations instead of focusing on player safety.
According to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, Ramsey acknowledged that he might be fined for his opinions and spoke for 15 minutes. It's hypocritical for the league to fine players for uniform violations while making money by featuring players' personality and celebrations.
Ramsey commented.
One thing that should be discussed more is player safety. Let's talk about it. I play the game with integrity and try to make sure people are safe. I want to hurt my opponent but I don't want to hurt anyone else. That is what the game is about It isn't about the other B.S.. It needs to be about that. How can we make sure the players are safe?
It's not hurting the integrity of the game if we want to go out there and look good. You don't want to think about protecting men.
Ramsey said he was fined by the NFL for his socks.
Rams kicker Matt Gay made a joke about the NFL's uniform policy when he wore his pants awkwardly in practice and was fined by the league for it.
