New York Giants Odell Beckham Jr.: NFL would have fined me for kettle hop

The NFL is out to get New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., at least according to the wide receiver.

The star wideout wasn’t thrilled that the league didn’t penalize Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot for leaping into a kettle.

Elliot jumped into a Salvation Army red kettle after scoring a touchdown in the third quarter of Sunday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The celebration earned the rookie star a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and while being flagged for excessive celebration usually comes with a fine of $12,154, the NFL said that it wouldn’t fine Elliot for leaping into the kettle.
