Question...Where does NFL fine money go?

[tmorton]

My friends and I were talking last night and the question was when a player is fined... Where does that money go? Anyone know?

Part of it goes to the nfl players association

The PAT is funded by several sources including donations from the NFLPA, NFL Charities, a percentage of the fine money levied on the active players each year, and individual contributions. To date, individual contributions from retired players have represented 1.5% of total contributions. In some cases, fines levied on NFL agents by the NFLPA are also designated to the PAT Fund. Contributions from the NFL and from the player fine money are guaranteed by the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NFL and the NFLPA.

Charity mostly.

Thank you 1st and Ten... Not sure how you know all that but very impressive!

yes a % is to the NFLPA and the rest is to charities, although in some cases, charities have been selected by the person/team fined.
