NFL: Tomlin discipline not about intent
The National Football League has explained their reasoning in regard to the discipline of Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, according to a report from Pro Football Talk.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello issued the following statement to PFT:
“Intent is not a factor in discipline because it cannot be determined. An individual is fined for an action that is a violation.”
The Steelers may still be forced to forfeit a draft pick because of the Tomlin incident.
