Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said he felt like an idiot when he screamed at officials, threw a towel in their direction, and got ejected. Now he’s going to feel a little poorer.
Kelce was fined $24,309 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
During Sunday’s game against the Jaguars, Kelce felt that he was interfered with on a pass in the end zone. When he didn’t see a flag, he screamed at one official. When that official didn’t pay him any mind, he screamed at another official. As Kelce started walking away, the second official threw a flag, which sent Kelce into a rage, screaming more and throwing a towel.
That got Kelce ejected automatically under the NFL’s rule forcing a player who commits two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties out of a game. It also cost the Chiefs 30 yards. And now it has cost Kelce some significant money.
