Marshawn Lynch is angry at the NFL not because they fined him 20k for his crotch grab after a touchdown last week against the Packers but because they fined teammate Chris Matthews just for “shaking his hand”.
I feel embarrassed to work for a particular organization that fined a teammate of mine for shaking my hand after a touchdown

The NFL doesn’t see it that way and feels that Matthews also grabbed his crotch after the touchdown and considered it an obscene gesture.
#Seahawks WR Chris Matthews was fined $11,025 for grabbing his own crotch after the TD — not for shaking Marshawn Lynch's hand.

Now lets check the video. Did Matthews grab his crotch? It’s really hard to tell, it kind of looks like Matthews got a little to close to Lynch on the handshake and it looked worse than it actually was.
What do you think, was Matthews grabbing his crotch? Did he deserve to get fined?
