Twitter: NFL fines WR CeeDee Lamb $10,300 for waving goodbye to Patriots DB Jalen Mills after TD

[MarcusRock]

So you're saying there is no bias? Is that what you're saying?

That is EXACTLY what I am saying. The league's been fining for taunting all year long but they catch a Cowboys player clearly doing it and it's a CONSPIRACY!? No it ain't.

Why should Jerry take care of it? It need to come out of Lamb's paycheck! Stop babying our players. They don't even know what personal responsiblity is. Look at Rams players, they don't even celebrate when they score touchdowns.

Personal responsibility was exactly what CeeDee Lamb did by holding back from physically retaliating after being shoved extremely hard after he was 2+ yards past the goal line and in the endzone! Waving goodbye was the correct way to approach that instead. Yet, the clearly biased NFL fines CeeDee for waving goodbye WHILE using his taped wave for money-making props on social media??? And you have the audacity to come here blasting CeeDee instead of the biased and crooked NFL???

And I am wrong. Thanks for the assist @MarcusRock

Why can't all these overpaid athletes just learn basic sportsmanship?

Would have made more sense to fine him for the pre-score showboating.

I get it. That type of stuff will inevitably lead to a brawl, but choose the right action to fine. Pretty sure Golden Tate was fined for waving goodbye prior to crossing the goal line a number of years back.

It won't surprise me if that's the next step ... eliminating showboating like Elliott and Lamb did because it can lead to shoves or fights or players getting hurt. No slowing down before you cross into the end zone.

Bull. You know very well Badell and his minions of Cowboys hating ex-players have a bias. You're simply too weak to admit it even though years of evidence keeps piling up.

So you're saying the ref that blew that facemask call Anthony Brown committed should be fired because Goodell demands perfection?

 

[America's Cowboy]

it's called taunting

No, it's not. It's taunting if it's done prior to any physical altercation. CeeDee responded with waving AFTER HE WAS PHYSICALLY SHOVED AFTER CROSSING THE ENDZONE.

Players should strike. They can’t be treated this way.

Where was a flag thrown on that play? Show us where a flag was thrown. Plus, where was a flag thrown against CeeDee waving goodbye AFTER he was shoved hard to the ground after he scored the game winning TD? You've got no merit to fall on. You're only here kissing up to Badell and his group of biased crooks.

You can't make this bias up anymore...

Good - should’ve been double that.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Did Rodgers get fined for telling the Bears fans he owns them?

I hope not I dislike the guy but that was great lol….

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Good - should’ve been double that.

Double? For what? Why should he be fined double?

No you don't need a physical altercation...... It was taunting , end of story, you can try to rationalize it all you want....don't want to be fined, act like a professional when you score, it is after all, "Professional" football, not the XFL so try to act like a professional...

 

[Beaker42]

TIL it’s better to push someone as hard as you can out of frustration (possibly injuring them) because you got smoked than it is to wave goodbye

You’re missing the point. If he’d just gone in full speed and skipped the princess wave he wouldn’t have been pushed. Fine should’ve been double that.

 

[CWR]

Typical. I hate this league and their bs towards Dallas.

 

[Beaker42]

Double? For what? Why should he be fined double?

For being a taunting showboater.

CeeDee didn't wave before running into the endzone or getting shoved. It happened after. Get your facts straight before you bash.

 

[America's Cowboy]

For being a taunting showboater.

CeeDee wasn't showboating. He was waving goodbye for being attacked. You would have a case if CeeDee did it without any physical altercation or instigation. Where is the fine against Aaron Rodgers? Exactly. There is none. Why? Because of bias. Clear as day.

 

[lukin2006]

Waving goodbye is good manners…jeesh.
