If there's one job you could probably start tomorrow, with no training or preparation, and still be better than those who've made a career out of it, it's doing public relations for the NFL. In just the past month alone their strict dress code has led to warnings/fines for a number of players including: A guy who paid tribute to his mom who died from breast cancer. A guy trying to raise domestic violence awareness. And another guy who tried to pay tribute to his dead father.

Today the league made a rare exception to their policy, and all it took was a major terrorist attack:

.@RapSheet says players will be allowed to pay tribute to Paris victims without being subject to fines for violating NFL's uniform policy.
