Seattle Seahawks' Earl Thomas thinks NFL should be more like NBA
Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas has had enough with the NFL limiting freedom of expression.
His solution?
Act more like the NBA.
Thomas voiced his displeasure with his league on Twitter Sunday night. He didn't mention any rule specifically, but it's easy to name a few he might be referencing. The NFL issues fines for uniform violations, excessive celebrations, taunting, wearing gear not officially licensed by the league and touting personal messages, among other things.

"The NFL should take notes from the NBA," Thomas said. "Allow us to express our creativity without fining us. Celebrate our players while we R still living.
