The No Fun League is at it once again, hurting the pockets of their players with enormous fines that aren’t warranted. This week both Odell Beckham Jr and Antonio Brown were fined around $24K each for taunting and celebrating, respectively.

Odell, who already has a target on his back from opponents and the league itself, was fined $24,309 for his “taunting” penalty against Xavier Rhodes in the Giants’ 24-10 loss to the Vikings on Monday. After Rhodes appeared to hit Beckham late, the receiver got back in the cornerback’s face and may have even brushed an official in the process. The flag cost the Giants 15 yards. Rhodes was not fined but make no mistake, he initiated the entire incident.
As for Brown, he was fined an even $24K for his touchdown celebrations against the Browns. His “pelvic thrusts” were deemed “sexually suggestive” and that’s the excuse the league used to fine him.

Both of these players were already fined this season for the same type of penalties which is why this amount is so much but that’s still a joke. They won’t be satisfied until all the players just shutup and have no personality or emotion.
