Fans Call Out The NFL For Using Photo Of Celebration Josh Allen Was Fined For To Promote His Stats

November 21, 2023

Back in Week 9, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after he appeared to point at a Bengals defender during a touchdown run.

Two days later, the NFL fined him $10,927.

On Tuesday, one of the league’s official Twitter accounts – NFL GameDay – posted a tweet about Josh Allen’s record of throwing and rushing touchdowns while using the image of him pointing at a defender that they fined him with it.

NFL fans, rightfully so, called them out on it:

Love how the NFL can penalize and fine someone for pointing a finger at a player while scoring, implying that it’s a bad thing and not good for the sport, and then a few weeks later just use the same image in their promo material. https://t.co/xhZR7lB9Py

Some pictures are worth a thousand words. This one is worth $10,927 https://t.co/3aFBwruAPF

NFL should be ashamed of themselves yet again…Ridiculous use of a pic y’all flagged & fined him for. 🙄

You don’t get to fine him $11K for doing this and then use the picture. Give him the money back.
