San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was among those hit with a $100,000 fine for not properly wearing their face masks on Sunday. The NFL also fined the team an additional $250,000, as the league works to ensure that coaches and other sideline staff are showing that they are adequately protecting themselves from COVID-19.
On Wednesday, a reporter asked Shanahan about the hefty fine.
"I'm obviously disappointed," Shanahan responded. "I mean, no one ever wants to have to spend that kind of money. But the biggest disappointment was I think our organization has taken this stuff very seriously. I think our organization has been unbelievable with the protocols that we've done, and the ones that have been given to us, and what we've followed.
"Obviously, I can do a better job during the game of wearing it. I got the message, and I will do a better job. But I don't want to take away from the fact that of how good our organization has done with this stuff in the buildings, with all the players, how we've traveled, the money we've put into it to make it safe.
"But yeah, I got the message, and I will do better."
