Tyreek Hill sends snarky message to NFL after being slapped with near $100k fine for uniform violations
Tyreek Hill has called out the NFL and continues to do things his own way.
The almost unguardable Miami Dolphins wide receiver tweeted that the league has fined him "more than $100k (£81k)."
"Classic NFL," throwing in a laughing emoji for good measure.
Hill was reportedly fined $7,000 (£5,700) last week for not wearing socks against Denver.
That's a lot of cash for forgetting to wear two almost unnoticeable pieces of clothing.
"I was getting an IV and I didn't want to be late for the play," Hill . "So I didn't have time to put on my socks."

NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero attempted to clarify Hill's tweet and bring some serious reporting to a sensitive situation.
"Dolphins star WR Tyreek Hill, who tweeted Tuesday that the NFL fined him “more than 100k”, has been fined repeatedly this season for uniform policy violations, I’m told," Pelissero .
"The total is less than $100K, but a significant amount. It isn’t related to his TD celebration last week."
