Story summary

Ja’Marr Chase, a star wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, and his teammate Tee Higgins received unsportsmanlike conduct fines of $14,926 from the NFL on Thursday after celebrating with their new "people's elbow" gesture during a game against the Texans. The celebration involves grabbing one’s right elbow with the left hand and flopping the right arm forward to signify a first down. Chase expressed frustration over the fine, saying that players can't even discuss it online without risking further penalties. He urged superstars to work within the NFLPA to address these issues, likening the situation to San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who was also fined for a celebration deemed by some as imitating chugging beer. Chase noted that players often can't speak out about such fines due to additional penalties they might face if they tweet or comment publicly.
