Wee six of the NFL season is set to be underway this Sunday and the league has handed out a plethora of fines to certain players from last week. These players include Tyreek Hill from the Miami Dolphins, T.J. Watt from the Pittsburgh Steelers, L’Jarius Sneed from the Kansas City Chiefs, Zack Moss from the Indianapolis Colts, and finally Marcus Peters from the Las Vegas Raiders. The long list of fines for these players has fans and analysts questioning the NFL.
Tyreek Hill
Miami’s star receiver Tyreek Hill was fined $10,927 for unsportsmanlike conduct. He threw up his signature peace sign toward New York Giants defenders on a 69-yard touchdown. He has previously been fined this season for uniform violations and now has another fine on top of it.

L’Jarius Sneed
Kansas City defender L’Jarius Sneed was fined $13,659 for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in which he removed his helmet to argue a flag against him late in last week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. The official picked up the flag and did not penalize Sneed for taking off his helmet either.

NFL Fans Reaction
The fans of the National Football League are outraged as a result of the crazy amount of fines handed out in such a short period. They are calling it the “No Fun League” to show their thoughts on the league cracking down hard on these players. We will see if these types of fines keep being handed out as the 2023 season goes on.
