Chris Matthews Fined $11,025

Yes, you guessed it, for grabbing his crotch

I'm still waiting for the NFL to explain how it's ok for your halftime entertainment but not for your players

All 12's going to the SB should crotch grab right at the same time.

When do they start fining Michael Bennett for his "obscene gesture" of a sack dance?

Criminal!

This should absolutely be a thing.

Agreed

Good lord. What garbage. Even Lynch didn't appear to have seen Matthews do this.

The league is just making up the rules as they go along, aren't they?

Anyone wanna put odds on Katy Perry doing a crotch grab at some point during halftime? I just did a quick google search, and it seems to be something she does often.

What happens if you Google "Katy Perry crotch grab" without safe search on?

Actually not. At least not anything explicit. But there's a whole lotta crotch grabbing going on by a whole lotta folks. Singers, actors at awards shows, you name it.

But as long as it's not an NFL player it's apparently fine.

Has Mathews even made 11,025 yet? That's pretty steep for a guy like him. Now we have to play him so he gets a game check.

I have no objection to the Lynch fine - he was warned before and did it again.

For a guy that is on the roster minimum wage, doesn't see the field much and has such a huge play - this is stupid

Spoil sport

ML and CM are being juvenile and NFL is being juvenile for fining them.

They all need a timeout.

It's saying something when the league can fine Matthews and Lynch for crotch-grabs, but has had no contact with Brady or Belichick 3 days since their last game concerning the deflated balls.

Yeah, all parties involved are being really childish. Fining these guys just makes it more likely they keep doing it, and vice-versa. :roll:

I think the entire team should come out of the tunnel at the super bowl, turn to goodell and everyone grabs their crotch.

what could they do about it?

CROTCH-GATE!

Does the NFL understand that levying these fines is only bringing more attention to it?

This "gesture" was previously something only a small subset of fans even noticed. Now people are writing articles about, and it's getting TV coverage. Such narrow-minded thinking.
