CINCINNATI (AP) -Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is renewing his call to let NFL players help decide fines for flagrant hits.
Polamalu called for a “more democratic” system during his guest appearance Tuesday night on “The T.Ocho Show,” which features Bengals receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco on Versus.
Polamalu floated the suggestion last week after teammate James Harrison got his third fine of the season, pushing his total to $100,000. Polamalu wants active players to have some say in their punishment.
Commissioner Roger Goodell dismissed the idea Monday before Pittsburgh’s 27-21 win over the Bengals in Cincinnati. He pointed out that active players and team officials haven’t been allowed to get involved in deciding such things.
