It's really not that hard to understand. Again it's in the rules if you would just take the time to read them and understand them. If you want to deny that it isn't, you're not being honest with yourself, me, or anyone else who you try to convince that the refs weren't doing their jobs. You're grasping at straws. 

And regardless, had Burfict and the other 3 simply not gone to Brown and instead gone to where George Iloka and Carlos Dunlap were standing, well away from the Steelers, nothing would have happened. 

Porter was walking off of the field with Brown until Burfict stepped between Brown and the trainer and Porter and laid his hands on Brown. It's clearly on the video. To deny it or pretend like it happened differently is simply delusional. 

So the NFL fined him $10,000 for doing something that was perfectly legal?

Doesn't that kind of kill your entire argument?  He didn't throw punches or anything, so why else would he have been fined?

SBNation says the fine is for being on the field, but why would they fine him if he had permission from the refs?
