Publish date: 2024-07-02

Referring decisions have once again triggered controversies in the NFL world. After the $10,000 fine against Josh Allen for showing his finger at a Bengals player last week, the referees are onto Amon-Ra St. Brown now. The Detroit Lions WR is fined $43,709 for unnecessary roughness against the Chicago Bears in week 11 game. The decision and the amount of fine money triggered controversies.

The wide receiver of the Detroit Lions had lowered his head to initiate contact on a block subjected to a heavy fine. According to Tom Pellissro, it broke the rules and regulations of the league, and hence the authority decided to put a fine.

Surprised by the decision, the WR expressed his grief to X. He wrote that the fine cost him nearly five percent of his total salary and it hurt him.

Almost 5% of my salary. I’m hurtingg

The amount of fine money triggered controversy among football fans. This happened earlier when Josh Allen was fined more than $10,000 for just showing his finger at a Cincinnati Bengals player while finishing a touchdown. The NFL considered this an unsportsmanlike attitude and fined him more than $10,000.

This earned controversies from a huge section of people. This included eminent faces like Travis Kelce openly took a stance in favor of Allen and criticized the league’s decision.

One of the weakest taunting calls you’ve ever seen? Probably. I’m not sure if I’ve seen too many of them... I think it’s bogus. I’m on Josh’s team on this. This is bull****.

St. Brown has been phenomenal this season for the Lions. The wideout gained 993 yards for 82 receptions in ten games. In addition to this, the WR earned five touchdowns. This is the third consecutive 900 receiving yard’s season for him.

On that backdrop, the netizens lost their calm over the decision to fine St. Brown. They did not hide their agony and expressed their dissatisfaction on Twitter. Check out some of the comments that the netizens made on Twitter (now called X).
