NFL fines Atlanta Falcons $250,000 and DC Jeff Ulbrich $100,000 for draft day prank call

Hope that money comes from his college fund.

 

We should start a GoFundMe for the DC. I would chip in even though I dislike the Falcons. I dislike the Sanders even more.

 

Seems a little ridiculous, a fine sure, but $350,000?

 

I won't attempt to project my assets (or should I say lack of) onto others, but what I think you are missing is the level needed to feel the "ouch". If it were the owner, it would be in the millions. And if it were the janitor (obviously not) then it would be something WAY less, although they would have been fired and nothing would have been said. Methinks a DC will say "ouch" but not all that loud. But it sounds LOUD to plenty of us.

Moral hazard comes in many levels. I may find supermodel level prostitutes fascinating entities but never to the point of compelling interest. But if I ever got to a financial level to where I thought that $10,000 in payment for goods received is like what I think $1 is to me today, then that level of hazard may in fact manifest.

The son needs a lesson in what is moral hazard and what is real money.
