Rookie RB Chris Johnson has been fined $10,000 for his celebration following his TD against the Chiefs.

The former East Carolina star ran out of the end zone and began beating some bongo drums that were in the back of the end zone to celebrate scoring the TD and was of course handed a penalty during the game...however the NFL have stepped forward now and handed the outstanding rookie a fine for $10,000 which he says is to much and he will appeal against

So someone explain to me exactly why he should be fined? and i dont want the 'official rules' answer, im asking that why a rookie that is very passionate about scoring shouldn't be allowed to go a little over the top? Im not to fussed about the penalty on the field but why fine him as well?

im not sure it's about not being allowed to have fun than it is having to show better sportsmanship for the oposing team.I dont think what cj did was out of line but next time he knows to just go over to the sideline and celebrate with his teammates
