Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has been fined $10,000 by the NFL for wearing cleats with a Skittles design during last week's game against San Francisco.
It was the second uniform infraction by Lynch this month. A few weeks ago he had to cough up $5,000 for wearing lime green socks on Monday Night Football.
Although the fines are inconvenient, Lynch should have no trouble making up the money. He is an unrestricted free agent after this season and will be receiving a massive contract in the spring.
Lynch has been an absolute monster this season, rushing for 1,118 yards (seventh in NFL) and 12 touchdowns (tied for third in NFL). He put up these numbers despite carrying the ball 13 times or less in four of his first five games.
Seattle was eliminated from the playoffs in Week 16, but they can thank Lynch for at least keeping the Seahawks in contention.
He has six 100-yard games this season, and his five rushing touchdowns carried the Seahawks to a 3-0 start in December.
In last week's 19-17 loss, Lynch became the first player to score a rushing touchdown against San Francisco this season. He was also the first to gain over 100 yards rushing against the Niners.
Despite these impressive accomplishments, the man with the Skittles fetish was snubbed from the Pro Bowl.
He might be disappointed now, but Lynch will have a fat wad of cash and his own candy commercial in due time.
