George Kittle seems ready to be fined again for anti-Dallas shirt when the Cowboys meet the 49ers

George Kittle seems to really like trolling the Dallas Cowboys.

Jerry Jones owns the Dallas Cowboys in a technical sense, but in a figurative one their owner is spread out across a few more parties.

The San Francisco 49ers hold the deed to The Star in Frisco these days as they demolish the Cowboys every time they face them. Twice in the playoffs and in the early part of last year’s regular season, the 49ers had their total and complete way with Dallas.

It was in the most recent matchup, the regular-season one, when one player on the 49ers poured a bit of salt in the wound. After scoring a touchdown (one of his three on the day) tight end George Kittle raised his jersey to show a shirt that was anti-Dallas. It was an homage to 49ers history in case you were unaware. Gary Plummer previously did the same thing for San Francisco.

Kittle was fined $15,000 for the shirt at the time but Netflix’s Receiver showed the moment in question and him re-visiting it. He said he might do it again if given the opportunity.

The Cowboys will visit San Francisco in Week 8 this season, on Sunday Night Football just like last year, so the opportunity will indeed present itself for Kittle. If he chooses to wear a shirt again, he says in the clip that he had them made for all of the tight ends, obviously remains to be seen.

Obviously I recognize that this shirt is in the name against the team we all root for, but as a sports fan I love stuff like this. Rivalries are so much fun and if you are destroying your rival you have earned the right to talk and brag about it. Clearly it was annoying from our perspective, but being on that side of something like that is enthralling.

Hopefully the Cowboys make sure that something like this cannot happen to them again. Although if history is any indication relative to this team they will have a very difficult time of doing so.
