Just because no laws were broken (and that's a bit muddled) doesn't mean the NFL can't impose a code of conduct for their players. As much as professional athletes like to claim they aren't role models--they are. Their behavior, both on and off the field, is a reflection of the organization. And they are compensated quite handsomely for maintaining discretion. The NFL is doing Ben a favor by fining him for his stupidity.

It's not against the law to be a member of a white supremacist group either. Should the NFL turn a blind eye if a player was to show up at a cross burning?
