Steelers WR Antonio Brown Fined For Fight In Bengals Game

[st33lersguy]

This is nothing more than a case of sour grapes from a salty Steeler hater who is upset that the Steelers won

If the Steelers meet the Bengals in the playoffs, I hope this would give the Steelers motivation to rip them to shreds... on the scoreboard.

Get a lawyer and fight the way the league is so inconsistent. Bring the hammer down on go to hell and the rest of this bull crap league.

Maybe Tomlin, Rooney's and front office ought to start 'Manning UP' and raising some HELL about our player's getting crapped on constantly ! Grow some BALLS and start kicking some dust like you know Marcia Brady and Bellycheat would do. Quit being so nice and quiet. Sickening.

This! Only thing that will fix this is a full court press with major markets ESPN, Inside the NFL, fox sports, interviews with Rooneys, coach tomlin, players hell Bens wife for Peter sake. They cannot criticize refs, but they can and should question the league office on a very public stage about the obvious inequities in discipline.


Matter of fact if Ben gets hurt on a shit plAy his people should sue the league and build a case that the league created a work environment that caused the injury. There are lots of workplace rules and laws that could be called

Did the Bengals player also get fined?

That's a good question. I don't know the rules, but Brown did throw the first punch (slap). In hockey, it'd be called the instigator rule. So, maybe he gets fined more, or gets the fine for instigating. Who knows.

And that is my main problem. NO consistency from game to game, week to week. Some crews are holding call happy, some crews are PI happy, some crews are totally out to lunch. It is getting really tiring to watch a play and then wait and see if the yellow "flag" moniker gets put up on the TV. It's to the point where I can't celebrate a play until 5 seconds after because I am always waiting to see if some ref has decided to call a foul. And, more and more, it is usually a head scratcher.

I think it is intentional as well. More and more, it is like the reffing in WWE. You know when the ref is going to get caught looking the other way.

BTW - Where was the fine for the uniform violation??
