Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch made his displeasure known on Twitter Thursday after teammate Chris Matthews was fined more than $11,000 for making an obscene gesture during the team's NFC Championship Game win over the Green Bay Packers:
I feel embarrassed to work for a particular organization that fined a teammate of mine for shaking my hand after a touchdown

Lynch was also fined $20,000 for making an obscene gesture in that same game. According to USA Today's Tom Pelissero, Matthews' fine had nothing to with the two's handshake during the game:
#Seahawks WR Chris Matthews was fined $11,025 for grabbing his own crotch after the TD -- not for shaking Marshawn Lynch's hand.
