Travis Kelce fined nearly $25K for throwing towel at referee

August 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has had some shining moments in his NFL career. Last Sunday against the Jaguars was not one of them.

Upset with a pass interference no-call in the fourth quarter, Kelce threw a tantrum to earn an unsportsmanlike penalty. He reacted by throwing the towel stuffed in his pants at the referee. This is obviously frowned upon, so Kelce was flagged again and ejected from the game.

Andy Reid gave his dynamic pass catcher an ear full as he walked off the field, and Kelce said he โ€œfelt like an idiot.โ€ Fortunately, it looks like Kelce learned his lesson after feeling how light his wallet is now.

Just thinking of all the things I can buy with $24,000..... ๐Ÿ’ญ๐Ÿ’ญ๐Ÿ’ญ https://t.co/QluodPakbO
