NFL fines Chad Ochocinco

The Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco, formally known as Chad Johnson is being fined yet again, this time $30,000 for throwing on a poncho and sombrero after scoring a touchdown and getting a win over the Detroit Lions. A month prior to this event, Ochocinco was fined $20,000 for pretending to bribe an official. While one of Ochocinoco’s catches was being reviewed, he waved the dollar bill to the official, as the official motioned to him to keep away. Having fun on the field should not be punishable; Ochocinco is not committing crime with his actions. Punishable should be those who yell out profanities after scoring a touchdown, or sacking a quarterback. Punishable those that get extra licks in after tackling down their opponent. These few specific actions ultimately consist of plays that should be punished with these fines, not someone who’s trying to spice up the game a bit with a little extra entertainment.
