PITTSBURGH – Antonio Brown delivered the money quote when asked about the league fining him for touchdown celebrations but not Ezekiel Elliott for jumping into a Salvation Army pot.
“I take my fines like a man,” the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver said Friday at his locker. “Pay em’ straight cash.”
Brown’s unsportsmanlike conduct tally has reached $57,733 after three flagged celebrations, including two the league deemed ‘sexually suggestive’ for twerking and one choreographed routine with teammate Le’Veon Bell in Week 12. His fine total surpasses $60,000 with uniform violations for wearing customized cleats.
Elliott, the star Dallas Cowboys running back, did not receive a fine for leaping into Salvation Army’s signature red pot after a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football.
