In one of the great shade-throwing moments of this yearโs Super Bowl, Antoine Winfield Jr. taunted Tyreek Hill with the peace sign after breaking up a pass to Hill โ a callback to when Hill originally hit Winfield with the peace sign first, back in the regular season.
Now the NFL has weighed in, levying a fine of $7,815 on Winfield for his taunt. (Weโll note, Hill was not fined for taunting Winfield back in the regular season.)
You know what? If thatโs the price of pettiness, then maybe the pettiness is worth it. Weโre going to guess this one was personal for Winfield... and he got the last laugh, with a Super Bowl championship to show for the drama.
Even Tom Brady got in on the schadenfreude, flashing a peace sign of his own towards Winfield during the Super Bowl parade.
