New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had an interesting take after learning Ezekiel Elliott wouldn’t be fined for jumping into a Salvation Army kettle.
The Dallas Cowboys running back was penalized during the game for his celebration, but the NFL elected not to fine him for his actions.
That didn’t sit well with Beckham, who questioned whether he would get away with such a celebration.
That's funny there's no fine for that. I could only imagine if I was the one to do it. Just bein honest .

Beckham has said at times this year that he feels targeted by the league, having racked up over $100,000 in fines in 2016. He feels the same way here. Does he have a point? Who knows, but most neutral observers would say that Elliott didn’t deserve a fine. Whether his lack of a reputation colored the NFL’s thinking is impossible to say.
