Seattle Seahawks Marshawn Lynch could be Fined for Lewd Gesture

Seattle Seahawks Marshawn Lynch might have to take out his checkbook once again. According to multiple reports, the running back could be fined for making a lewd gesture when he crossed the goal line during this Sunday's game.

During the play in the fourth quarter, Lynch scored against the Green Bay Packers on a 24-yard run and made an obscene gesture. Although he was not flagged on the play, he could be fined for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The play gave the Seahawks their first lead of the game. They went on to beat the Packers 28-22 in overtime. Lynch finished with 157 yards on 25 carries.

Lynch is no stranger to writing checks to the league.

In a December game against the Arizona Cardinals, Lynch grabbed his crotch when he crossed the goal line on a 79-yard run. He was fined $11,050 after that game. Earlier this season, Lynch was fined $100,000 for failing to make himself available to the media after the game, which is a part of the NFL's media policy.

Prior to the game, Lynch's gold cleats made the news. According to the reports, the NFL had warned Lynch that he would be ejected from the game if he wore the $1,100 gold Nike cleats and chose not to change out of them. The league's uniform code states that all players must wear black, white or team colors during every game. Teams submit their colors by July 1. The Seahawks did not have gold on that list. Instead of the testing the league, Lynch made the wise decision by showing up with team colored cleats.

The Seahawks, who won the Super Bowl last year, will play the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX on Feb. 1 in Arizona.
