NFL fines Justin Jefferson for unsportsmanlike conduct
The National Football League has fined wide receiver Justin Jefferson $10,928 for unsportsmanlike conduct due to a touchdown celebration against the Carolina Panthers. The news was reported by ESPN’s Kevin Seifert.
After Jefferson’s second touchdown catch against the Panthers, he did a motion with his touchdowns celebration that was suggesting the defender was too small. You can see it at the end of this clip.
Is this worth a fine? Not necessarily, but the NFL is big on sportsmanship, but they have been inconsistent in how they distribute their fines.
Touchdown celebrations have been something that the league office has consistently scrutinized. Fines have been a normal thing over the years.
Did Jefferson deserve a fine for this celebration?
