Will It Be a Pretend Fine?

So the NFL is considering fining Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Randy Moss for his antics after scoring a touchdown last Sunday. What was his damnable offense? He pretended to moon the Green Bay fans: Yahoo! Sports

So since he may be penalized for something he "pretended" to do, will it be okay with the NFL if he "pretends" to pay the fine as well?

Here we are, the world still coming to grips with the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami, war still well underway in the Middle East... and the American sporting world is up in arms because a football player pantomined the act of showing his ass to the crowd. This ranks right up there with the misplaced indignation that occurred after Janet Jackson flashed the Superbowl viewing audience. Our European allies must take great delight in our national silliness.

Earth to NFL and U.S. sports journalists: stop reporting non-news. It makes you all seem so, well, childish.
