NFL Players Reportedly Allowed to Honor Paris Victims Without Repercussions

The NFL will not punish players who choose to honor victims of this week's French terror attacks with tributes on their jerseys.

Chris Burke of Sports Illustrated relayed the news from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The NFL typically adheres to a strict uniform code and fines players who commit violations—even for good causes. Last month, the NFL drew negative press coverage for its decision to fine players who wore pink and paid tribute for breast cancer awareness in ways not supported by the league.

Rapoport had previously said the league was still deciding on whether to fine players for Paris-related tributes.

"Do not be surprised if this is like it was after Sandy Hook a couple years ago, where players will not be fined for showing support," he said on NFL Network earlier Sunday, per Tom Ziller of SB Nation.

The NFL has already made a number of other accommodations in an attempt to honor the more than 120 people who lost their lives Friday in a multipronged terror attack in the French capital. Each game will feature a moment of silence, and Rapoport reported a French flag will be displayed on teams' video boards. Other teams will be taking extra steps, like adding the French flag to their color guard, per Rapoport. 

In addition to honoring victims, the NFL has taken increased security measures to ensure the safety of players and fans attending this week's games. Kevin Seifert of ESPN reported the NFL has hired additional security for each stadium and will have fans go through a more stringent policy before entering. At this time, there are no known threats at any NFL stadium.
