SuperBowl fines Holmes for LeBron Impersonation
The final touchdown that sealed the deal for the win for Pittsburg Steelers during the superbowl is getting a fine.. because the catch made by Holmes impersonated LeBron James pregame ritual. The $10,000 fine would make sense if LeBron were offended or upset that someone took his signature move, but the thing is: he doesn't care and is 'disgusted' with the fine. I think this is just a way for the Superbowl to make more money than they already have.. I mean why else would they fine him? Holmes is a fellow Ohio State goer with LeBron and his touchdown ritual was clearly a homage to another Ohio State super star, and it was a pretty cool touchdown celebration. So should paying homage to one of the biggest stars in all of sports on the biggest stage in all of sports be seen as fine-worthy? The answer is no; it should be fun for fans and fun for the people involved.
