I got arrested for less than this, but it's the new normal in the social media NFL of the mid-2010's

Checking for Fine Friday on Pro Football Talk -- a surprisingly good source for fines when they are publicized, since it's NBC -- I find this little ditty that shows There Is No Law.

Geno Smith was made the starter last week over Eli Manning with the Giants. That move resulted in the firing of head coach Ben McAdoo and GM Jerry Reese this week, their replacements immediately reinstalling Manning as quarterback.

According to Geno's father Geno Jr. (which would probably make this Geno The Third...), it also resulted in a death threat against father and son...

“I was just at work,” Geno Smith Jr. told Duggan. “I answered and he was like, ‘Geno?’ So I just listened and he was like, ‘Is this Geno?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ He was like, ‘Your son better not start or we’re going to kill you.’ I kind of just laughed and then he hung up.”

NFL Security nor the Giants were notified.  Why?  Dad says it best:

“If someone was going to kill me, they ain’t going to call me and tell me,” he said.
