CINCINNATI — The National Football League has rescinded a fine that had been levied against Cincinnati Bengals’ quarterback Jon Kitna for wearing a baseball-style cap with the Christian cross. The NFL had fined Kitna $5,000 for wearing unauthorized headgear too close to game time during a television interview. Kitna did not say why the NFL changed its mind.
The cap in question instantly became a cause celebre in mid-December, when like-minded fans throughout the Greater Cincinnati area showed their support for the Pro-Bowl quarterback.
