Amon-Ra St. Brown says he was fined nearly $60,000 for four smoking-related celebrations
The No Fun League has cracked down particularly hard on celebrations this week.
Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown revealed he was fined nearly $60,000 for four smoking-related celebrations during last week's game against the Bills, according to the Detroit Free Press. Each of the four celebrations resulted in a fine exceeding $14,000, totaling more than $14,000 multiplied by four. St. Brown expressed his dissatisfaction with the fines, stating his intention to appeal the decision.
The NFL categorizes such celebrations as unsportsmanlike conduct, which comes with a standard fine of $14,926. Four instances of this fine would amount to $59,704. The league seems to have intensified its scrutiny on celebrations during this week. Similarly, 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk and Colts guard Matt Goncalves were fined for allegedly mimicking chugging beer, while Bengals receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were fined for a celebration deemed obscene.
