Sources – The NFL is considering fining George Kittle for his anti-Cowboys jersey

The NFL is considering fining the San Francisco 49ers’ George Kittle over the T-shirt he wore under his uniform Sunday night that contained an obscene message about the Dallas Cowboys, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Wednesday.

Under the terms of the NFL’s fine schedule, personal messages carry a fine of $10,927.

Kittle, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, revealed a T-shirt under his jersey that read “F— Dallas” while celebrating running back Jordan Mason’s 26-yarder into the end zone at the end of the 49ers’ 42-10 defeat. Kittle also had three touchdowns in the game.

In an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday, Kittle said he was “maybe a little bit inspired” by 49ers linebacker Gary Plummer, who wore a similar jersey during the 1994 NFC Championship game against the Cowboys.

“There are certain things that are meant to be worn for the franchise, and I think it’s just a coincidence that it appears on my chest on Sunday Night Football,” he said.

Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, on his podcast Monday, called out Kittle for wearing the jersey.

“I feel like it makes it more personal than it needs to be,” he said on his radio show “The Edge with Micah Parsons.” “Kittle is my man, but I’ll say this: laugh now, cry later.

“We’ve got something for this, just trust. If we see them again, just trust… Are you going to make it personal? We can make it personal.”

A day later, 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel, during an interview on FanDuel’s “Up & Adams” podcast, said San Francisco took note of some of the Cowboys’ pregame comments before responding to Parsons.

“It was already personal before the game started, and now — 42-10 — I don’t think you want to see us again,” he said Tuesday. “It could be a little worse.”
