I agree if Plummer wants to honor Tillman he could do it by sewing a 40 inside if his jersey where nobody could see it, say right over his heart.

That said if it means that much to him, wear the dam thing and take the fine. I can see what jerms is saying why let the cards do it, i guess because he was a Cardinal???

That's most likely what the reasoning is.

And, yes, if it means that much to Plummer (and I'm not implying that it doesn't) then he should keep it on and pay the fine. The only thing I see, though, is if the NFL has some sort of system for continual disobeyance of their rules Plummer might get more than just a fine. The NFL has proven that they'll get their way.

Is the fine petty? Yes. Is it abnormal for the NFL to levy petty fines? No. Does Plummer have any recourse? In the long run, probably not.
