Arizona Cardinals defensive back Kei’Trel Clark has become the second Muslim player to receive an NFL fine within the past week. League correspondence revealed the 25-year-old violated NFL rules by displaying a personal message on his eye black during a September 13 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Clark shared the letter on social media, stating: “I got to report to God at the end of my days on the day of judgement!” The NFL identified his visible message—reading “Glory Be 2 God …” with a peace sign in the middle—as a direct violation of Rule 5, Section 4, Article 8. This rule prohibits players from wearing, displaying, or conveying personal messages during game time when visible to stadium audiences and television viewers.
Clark faces penalties for this breach of league regulations.
