Ochocinco doesnt want to be distraction over jersey

Chad Ochocinco doesnt want to be a distraction.

The Bengals wide receiver apparently has reversed course after saying he planned to wear the No. 15 jersey of teammate Chris Henry, who died Thursday, in a game at San Diego.

Ochocinco donned Henrys practice jersey Thursday and had said he wanted to wear his game jersey Sunday against the Chargers. However, the NFL informed the Bengals that Ochocinco wouldnt be able to do so.

While Henrys No. 15 jersey will be on the sideline during the game, it doesnt look like it will be on the field. Ochocinco doesnt believe hell wear the jersey, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, saying, I dont want to be a distraction.

Earlier Saturday, NFL Players Association assistant executive director for external affairs Geroge Atallah posted a tweet in which he said the union will cover any fine levied against Ochocinco by the league and match it with a gift to our Chris Henry memorial fund. Technically, though, that would be illegal under league rules. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed the league rule that states it is illegal for any entity to pay the fine imposed from a violation of the leagues uniform policy. Such fines are taken directly from a players salary.

Told of the offer by the NFLPA, Ochocinco told Bengals.com that he doesnt want the scenario to be a problem with coach Marvin Lewis.

Im going to work through Marvin on that, Ochocinco said.

For now, thats the latest.

I agree that the NFL uniform regulations are too restrictive. I hate uniformity more than anyone, I'm sure; I was always in trouble in the military for rebelling against it in subtle ways.

But that's just it. If you're going to make the conscious decision to rebel against the rules, you don't have a right to bitch when the hammer comes down.

I'm a big believer in personal liberty. I'm just as big a believer in personal responsibility.

When has Chad complained about the rules? He may have, but I don't remember him doing it. I remember him saying 'what u wont let me do this? ok ill do THIS instead'.

I think that Ocho did the right thing. It showed that he genuinly cared about the man. Great tribute.

I urge you to watch the vid.

The sport is getting too sensational, sorry. If you want to donate money to the memorial fund, do it but don't make a game out of it. At some point, you have to adhere to the rules of the game and the league. You knew the rules when you signed on, this rule hasn't changed since then. If you don't like it, do something else with your life.

Personally, I think that equipment violations like this should be ejectable in most cases.

The rules are plenty and more than needed. Plummer wasn't allowed to honor Tillman,

Excuse me!! Tilman was a guy who gave up millions of dollars to do something he believed in, while defending our safety and freedom at war and who was needlessly killed by friendly fire. Henry jumped or fell off of a pick up truck. Regardless of the circumstances, plummer didnt make a sideshow out of it and neither should Chad in this instance. Chad is trying to cope with the loss by making a show out of it.

For ONE GAME, why not let him do it? What's the big deal?

"Porforis" wrote:

It's not a big deal unless the nfl is going to fine him which they likely will. The point is that the attention is being taken away from Henry(where it should be) on to Chad(where it should not be). Thats really the only point. The issue of changing your number is a non issue in my opinion.

"Cheesey" wrote:

quite some good arguements here in this thread - I am agreeing with gravedigger - while Ochos action appear to be honerable in the face of a 'tyrant' what is occuring is as GD pointed out is that the attention is being taken away from the person that died and put on ocho and his fight with the NFL which he seems to be doing (almost every week) for what attention?

So who is this about ocho or the guy that died? if its the guy that died then why do something that is going to put the light on you and your fight with the big/bad wolf.

How about ocho or the team do something for henry that doesnt involve a "look at me" or rebellions attitude.

As the bible talks about - "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven ~
A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up.
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance."

Chad decided against it because he didn't want it to be a distraction and didn't feel this is what Chris would want. But hey, Chad is still a bad guy because he's an easy target for assholes who light there life so tightassed they can't enjoy fun if it sat on their fat prickly face.

LIGHT UP, HAVE SOME FUCKING FUN!
