Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard got a rare win over the NFL this week.
Lazard was fined last month for taunting three Miami Dolphins players after he blocked them all at once.
The Green Bay wide receiver counted to three after blocking all three players. As a reward, the NFL fined him $10,609.
Here's a video of the play:
On Friday, Lazard revealed that he won his appeal and the NFL has rescinded its fine.
I understand that there are lines that shouldn't be crossed. And sportsmanship is important.
But that was a pretty weak fine by the NFL. Players still have to be able to have some fun playing the game (it is a game, after all).
At least they came to their senses on this one, though Lazard shouldn't have been fined in the first place.
