If the NFL had any sense they would impose suspensions, that would ensure it didn't happen again.

Suspending someone for different colored socks would be just plain stupid. The uproar from the fans and players union alone is enough to keep them from ever trying it. Plus, it's easy money. Why suspend someone, and create a media circus and massive headache, when you can make a quick 20k in fines, that even the player could care less about.

They don't really make the money. It's donated to charities, making it an even BETTER reason for Portis and Taylor to wear them.

Ah, I had heard that before, but I didn't realize it was %100 of the fine.

That's going a bit over the top in my opinion.
