The NFL just handed Giants defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins a big fine for picking up a roughing the passer penalty against the Rams on Sunday. And Jenkins is not happy about it.

Jenkins is upset because, during the game, several Giants and Rams players got into a fight. Three of those players—Preston Parker and Damontre Moore from the Giants and William Hayes from the Rams—even got ejected from the game. And yet, according to Jenkins, he got a bigger fine than any of them. So he just aired the NFL out on Twitter:

1.

So I just got fined more for roughing the passer than anyone who was in the fight. Even players who got ejected. So I should just fight then

He also called the league's integrity into question by pointing out that they seem to condone violent acts:

2.

Glad to see the leagues stance on violence is still a priority.

And he subtweeted Roger Goodell and let him know that he's not going to let the fine ruin his Christmas:

If you watch the video of the fight above, it's easy to see that Jenkins has a point here. How did he end up with a bigger fine than all of the guys who were involved in that melee?
