No Fun League strikes again!

Well, the No Fun League has once again struck, and this time it's the Green Bay Packers who are being affected by the recent ruling.
The NFL has announced a fine for Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard for taunting, and he's officially out a total of $10,609 dollars. The unforgivable crime he committed? Simply pointing at the three Miami Dolphins players that he ran over.
And good on Lazard, because he's not taking this quietly. In fact, he's announced that he'll be appealing the decision by the NFL.
"I'm going to appeal it, my agent and I," Lazard said. "It's not like it was an aggressive hit or anything that injured another player. It was perfectly legal. So I don't see what − I'm getting fined for taunting, which I think is kind of silly."
"Going through the play and everything, understanding leverage and how the ball was coming out, I could feel Aaron Jones was behind me," Lazard said of the block Wednesday. "I knew if I sealed the edge right there, that he would be able to go out and get an explosive out of it. So obviously I had a block, but Aaron Jones did a great job of just doing his job and getting the most yards that he could."
"It's contradictory," Lazard continued "They highlighted the play on social media, even during the game, they obviously praised it as it being a good play."
Good on Lazard!
