Vikings' Moss fined $10,000 by NFL for controversial celebration - GoFuckYourself.com

should have been $25,000 imo

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- Minnesota's Randy Moss was fined $10,000 Thursday by the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct during the celebration of his fourth-quarter touchdown catch last week -- in which he pretended to pull down his pants and moon the Green Bay crowd.

Moss also briefly bumped the goalpost with his back end before hugging teammates in the end zone following that game-clinching score in the Vikings' 31-17 wild-card playoff game victory over the Packers.

League rules mandate discipline for "obscene gestures or other actions construed as being in poor taste." A fine for the first offense under those guidelines is $5,000. Moss has not previously been fined for such action, but he paid a $25,000 penalty in 1999 for squirting an official with a water bottle.

His agent, Dante DiTrapano, argued that the fine was unnecessary.

"If you can't have freedom of expression on the football field, come on," DiTrapano said.

Peter Hadhazy, the league's director of game operations, issued the punishment in a letter to Moss that the NFL revealed in a news release announcing the fine.

modF · 01-13-2005, 03:11 PM

I think they should fine every fan in the parking lot 10k after they do that. Talk about way too uptight...

Strife · 01-13-2005, 03:14 PM

Way overblown IMO

Furious_Male · 01-13-2005, 04:00 PM

He shouldnt have been fined anything. Haters

mookienow · 01-13-2005, 04:12 PM

10k in football player money is only like 25 cents.

sickkittens · 01-13-2005, 05:20 PM

Why do you think it should be $25k? I'd like to hear/see your reasons.

Nysus · 01-13-2005, 05:25 PM

It's the USA you live in folks, and the Bush government is in power... it was seen as obscene by some... It wasn't obscene, just tasteless, but he just scored a touchdown...

mardigras · 01-13-2005, 07:41 PM

Maybe they should just tape all games and let the censor board chop it up before allowing the public to see the unharmful stuff.

Spunky · 01-13-2005, 07:44 PM
