The NFL has fined Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones $250,000 for what he claims was an “inadvertent” obscene gesture towards fans at the New York Jets’ MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Viral clips captured Jones appearing to flash his middle finger at Jets fans during the Cowboys’ 37-22 win. Jones claimed he was actually trying to give Cowboys fans in the stadium the thumbs up as his team rolled towards victory late in the fourth quarter.
