Fans riot as NFL slaps Derek Carr with $14,000 fine for Michael Jackson-inspired TD celebration: "Stupid sh--": 

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr helped his team to a 44-19 victory against the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday. In the victory, Carr completed 11-of-16 passes for 243 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

He also added a rushing touchdown on a one-yard carry. After scoring his touchdown, Carr celebrated with a classic Michael Jackson dance and did the famous crotch grab. As a result, he was fined $14,000 by the NFL.

After learning that Carr got fined for the touchdown celebration, fans were surprised and thought the NFL was being harsh.

Here's how fans reacted:

"That's ridiculous," one fan simply stated.

"What a joke man. One of the best teammates and best men in the league. Imitating one of the greatest music artists we’ve ever seen. No Fun League lives on," a fan wrote.

"They really just be fining for anything and everything nowadays," a fan said.

The majority of fans on social media didn't think a fine was necessary, especially a $14,000 one. The term 'No Fun League' was used by more than one user on X.

Here are some other reactions from fans on social media:

"Can’t have fun no more i guess," one person posted on X.

"No Fun League. I didn't see any fans crying about this," one fan posted a similar thought.

"Ridiculous. Let them have their fun," a fan said.

Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints are off to a hot start in 2024

Could Derek Carr be leading one of the most efficient offenses in NFL history? It sure seems like he has a chance through the first two games of the 2024 season.

Carr has led the New Orleans Saints on 15-straight scoring drives to start the season. That is the longest streak since the 1978 season, according to Elias Sports Bureau.

New Orleans scored on all nine of their offensive possessions in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. The offense scored five touchdowns as kicker Blake Grupe nailed four field goals.

This week, the Saints will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3 at home and will look to improve to 3-0. They're currently tied for first place in the NFC South with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are also 2-0. The Eagles will look to improve to 2-1 after suffering a loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night in Week 2.
