Apparently the NFL wasn’t as amused by Marshawn Lynch’s touchdown celebration as were most football fans. The Seahawks running back punctuated a spectacular 79-yard touchdown run in Arizona by leaping into the end zone while grabbing his crotch, a repeat of a move he did at the end of his famous “Beastquake” run in the playoffs.
But while the gesture went largely unnoticed back then until after the game, everyone saw it this time around, and the league decided to act, fining Lynch $11,050. Profootballtalk.com first reported the fine Thursday, and according to the league’s website, the fine was for unsportsmanlike conduct.
