Dallas Cowboys WR Amari Cooper fined for COVID-19 violation at Mavericks game, source says

Affirmative action was taken at 3:56 PM.

A source told ESPN that the Cowboys wide receiver was fined by the league for not wearing a mask while attending a Dallas Mavericks game.

Cooper was on the sideline at the Cotton Bowl Classic cheering on Alabama against Cincinnati. Since they have been vaccinations, Cooper and his teammates did not have to worry about being fined.

An unvaccinated player can attend a sporting event but must sit in a luxury suite with a mask and not be surrounded by more than 10 people. Cooper was at the game.

Cooper was asked after the regular-season finale if he would be more careful about interactions during the playoffs.

You don't want to get sick. This is the tournament. We train so hard in the summer to get to this point. Cooper said that they accomplished that goal so far. We're going to do everything we can to not get sick. If that means isolation, that's what it means. Hopefully we can not catch it.

The Cowboys lost two games this season, one against the Kansas City Chiefs and the other against the Las Vegas Raiders. Cooper wouldn't fall in the daily testing protocol because he had COVID-19.

The new testing policies adopted by the league and the players association are similar to how the league runs its drug policy.
