NFL star challenges bosses over £10,000 fine for celebration after controversial decision

Cincinnati Bengals star running back Joe Mixon has challenged NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after he was hit with a fine of over £10,000 after tossing a coin when celebrating a touchdown.

The celebration came in reference to the NFL's decision to toss a coin to decide where a playoff game should be held, if the Bengals lost to the Baltimore Ravens last weekend. The Bengals would go on to win the game, meaning no coin toss would be needed, but it's a decision that clearly angered the team.

Mixon had a real coin tucked into his sock, and brought it out when scoring the first touchdown of the game last weekend to do a coin flip in the end zone.
