Slayton was fined for a violent gesture made during the game on a first down but wondered why others who have done so were not penalized.
This season, the NFL has attempted to crack down on violent gestures, and has already flagged and fined two New York Giants receivers–Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton–for making celebratory gestures resembling gunfire.
That drew the flag from the officials, yet Slayton was quick to point out that Dallas Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster all celebrated big plays very similarly, yet no penalties were drawn from them. "It’s very unfortunate that I’m the victim of this situation, but it is what it is. It’s a part of the NFL, and it's a part of the entertainment factor,"
"If you want to fine the guy after the game for doing it, whatever,” Kelce said. “That’s up to the NFL for wanting to protect their league, but I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that a guy is on the ground shooting, pointing fingers for getting a first down saying, ‘We’re going that way’ or whatever he might be doing.’ I just think it’s too much, man. It’s too much, and it's affecting the game in the wrong way.
