Tillman “Issue”
October 3, 2004
I say “issue” because it shouldn’t even be one. I understand the purpose of the rule, that is all fine and dandy.
Plummer and Tillman became close friends after playing together at Arizona State and later with the Cardinals. Plummer said he has been wearing a small No. 40 on the back of his helmet since training camp.
The Cardinals will display Tillman’s number on their helmets every game this season, but individual players, such as Plummer, are not allowed to do so.
Why not Plummer? Why not allow any individual player to do exactly what you allow the Cardinals to do? I understand that the integrity of the rule must be protected – but this is not a time to protect it.
