The NFL on Saturday fined 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan $25,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct for his verbal lashing of an official in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Shanahan earlier this week said the sequence of events began when 49ers linebacker Fred Warner’s shoe fell off near the line of scrimmage.
As Warner went to retrieve his shoe, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw it eight yards behind the line of scrimmage. Referee Clete Blakeman would have been in front of Wilson as he picked up Warner’s shoe.
Warner went to get his shoe in an area close to umpire Ramon George.
