SNY NFL Insider Ralph Vacchiano tweeted out today that Giants DE Owa Odighizuwa was fined $12,154 for his celebration of a Landon Collins touchdown. The infraction? Odighizuwa pretended to take a picture.
The NFL needs to relax on all of this overzealous policing. Celebrating and having fun playing a game is not setting a bad example for the kids. You know what is? Having domestic abusers on the field. The league is experiencing declining ratings and poor on field play. To be fair, it is an election year and the NFL couldn’t keep gaining in popularity forever.
But, if the league doesn’t start dealing with some of the cracks in its arsenal, it could be facing a different reality.
Giants DE Owa Odighizuwa was fined $12,154 for pretending to take a picture of S Landon Collins after his pick-6 on Sunday. … Yes, really.
