Jonathan Jones reports Bengals receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were fined a combined $89,556 for six celebrations. Chase urged players and the NFLPA to fight the fines, saying he was fined for an elbow gesture after Sunday’s touchdown.
Jones described the six celebrations as phallic-like. The Bengals call the move “the people’s elbow”; the article says it is unclear whether the name refers to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s wrestling move. The NFL previously relaxed celebration rules before the 2017 season.
