The NFL fined the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints $500,000 each on Friday after fights broke out during a joint practice session in California. The league’s Competition Committee emphasized sportsmanship in a statement, noting that all clubs had been reminded before training camps of their responsibility to prevent unsportsmanlike conduct that could lead to injuries.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones criticized the players involved, stating that removing helmets and throwing punches was unacceptable. “Helme abzunehmen und dann zu schwingen und zuzuschlagen und solche Dinge sind für niemanden gut, und es ist sicherlich nicht das, was wir unseren Fans als Liga oder als Team vermitteln wollen,” Jones said . He added that the NFL must take a hard line in such cases but suggested the fines were excessive, indicating the Cowboys would challenge the penalty.
The altercations occurred during a joint training session ahead of the NFL season, which begins Sept. 9 with a matchup between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. The Saints open their season Sept. 13 against the Detroit Lions, while the Cowboys face the New York Giants.
The league’s statement underscored that the focus on sportsmanship extended to joint practices, where tensions can run high as players compete for roster spots and contracts. The NFL had previously issued a memo to clubs ahead of training camps, urging them to avoid behavior that could result in injuries.
