Derek Carr got fined for a crotch-grabbing Michael Jackson celebration
The NFL is living up to its "No Fun League" name today.
The league is reportedly hitting Derek Carr with a $14,000 fine for his Michael Jackson celebration on Sunday after scoring a touchdown against the Cowboys, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.
The celebration was cool! Carr ran the ball in for a touchdown and then pulled out the celebration. He grabbed his crotch for a second while doing the dance move.
The celebration wasn't enough for a penalty in the game but, apparently, enough for a league fine.

We should've known this was coming. Grabbing your crotch is a big no-no for the NFL. As Florio points out, the league fined Marshawn Lynch for the same thing in the past.
But come on, NFL. Let the players have some fun sometimes.
