Titans' Owner Bud Adams Fined $250,000 For Obscene Gesture
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The NFL has fined Titans owner Bud
Adams $250,000 for making an obscene gesture at Buffalo fans while celebrating
Tennessee's victory over the Bills.
Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Adams of the fine Monday. League spokesman Greg Aiello said it is for conduct detrimental to the NFL. Adams was seen making the gesture while in his luxury suite and again on the field after Sunday's 41-17 victory.
The 86-year-old Adams issued an apology a couple of hours later, saying he got caught up in the excitement.
Goodell was at the game, after having breakfast with Adams. The league said that Goodell left Adams' suite at the end of the third quarter and spent the fourth quarter sitting with fans in the end zone before leaving the stadium.
