Antonio Brown is lighter in the wallet thanks to some fines courtesy of the NFL but he doesn’t seem to care too much. Brown was fined a very minimal amount for wearing cleats that didn’t match his uniform as well as for “thrusting” his pelvic area after scoring a touchdown in the third quarter of the Steelers game against the Redskins.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ star wide receiver said he got hit with two NFL fines: one for the end zone gyration he called the “Boomin'” after his second touchdown against the Washington Redskins, the other for wearing baby blue cleats, which violated uniform protocol.

Brown’s reaction to the fines? “It’s nothing to a boss”

According to the NFL bylaws, celebratory actions that are “sexually suggestive or can otherwise be construed as being in poor taste” fall under the banner of “unsportsmanlike conduct.” Brown’s thrusting would appear to fall into that category. This is the fourth time Brown has been fined for excessive celebrations but as long as he keeps producing, I don’t think anyone in the Steelers organization is going to tell him to stop.
