Tillman
This is the first time I've started a letter like this, so you know I feel
pretty strongly about the subject.
As you can see from the article below, the National Football League is not
allowing quarterback Jake Plummer to continue wearing a small #40 on the back of
his helmet in honor of Pat Tillman, the former NFL player who gave up his career
and died serving his country. Because Plummer no longer plays for the Cardinals
(Tillman's team) he isn't being allowed to keep Tillman's number on his uniform.
I believe Tillman made a great sacrifice for his country and any player in the
NFL should be allowed to honor him by wearing his number. I sent an email to
NFL commission Paul Tagliabue to let him know my feelings, but my one email
alone probably won't convince him.
If you feel that Jake Plummer and other players around the league should be
allowed to wear Tillman's number 40 on the back of their helmets this season,
you can do two things: 1) send an email to commens@n... to tell Mr.
Tagliabue that the NFL should allow any player who wants to honor Pat Tillman to
do so, not just Arizona players, 2) forward this email on to other people who
might be willing to also email the National Football League to convince them to
change this policy. Maybe if enough football fans make ourselves heard, the
league will listen!!
Thanks!

Standings Stats Teams Players Injuries Photos Plummer won't
challenge NFL rule on honoring Tillman
September 30, 2004
DENVER (AP) -- Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer must remove the No. 40
decal he's worn on the back of his helmet since training camp that honors former
Arizona Cardinals teammate Pat Tillman.
Tillman, the former safety who walked away from the NFL to join the U.S. Army
Rangers and fight in Afghanistan, was killed in action in April.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Wednesday the league's long-standing policy
prohibits personal messages on uniforms or helmets. Violators could face fines
of $5,000.

``We do that because we need a consistent rule. You can't just pick and choose
and say one message is OK but another isn't. Where would you draw the line?''
Aiello said.
The league has honored Tillman several times this year, including at the NFL
draft, at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony in August, and on the second week
of the season when all NFL players wore Tillman's number on their helmets.
``I want to honor Pat the best I can. I honor Pat every day, every game in my
own private way,'' Plummer said. ``I'm trying to get something done that won't
infringe upon the NFL logo and uniform codes.
``I'm not going to fight the NFL,'' he said. ``I'm looking for some kind of
compromise.''
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.

DENVER (AP) -- Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer must remove the No. 40
