Panthers’ Rico Dowdle turns ‘two-pump’ celebration fine into something greater with surprise move
NY Post
Much like Keegan-Michael Key, the NFL had something to say about Rico Dowdle’s “two-pump” touchdown celebration, too.
ESPN reported Wednesday the Panthers running back, 27, has been fined $14,491 for his post-score celebrations in Carolina’s 16-13 road upset over Green Bay in Week 9.
Dowdle, whose agent said the fine will be appealed, has since taken action elsewhere, launching a GoFundMe to help a children’s charity with the funds raised for the fine.
“After much thought I’ve launched a GoFundMe for my fines. Key said I got three pumps but I guess the NFL disagrees,” Dowdle posted on his GoFundMe page.
“Actually, 100% of what is raised through this fundraiser will be sent to Children’s Home Society of North Carolina. Children’s Home Society promotes the right of every child to a permanent, safe, and loving family. They specialize in education and prevention programs, family preservation, and adoption and foster care.”
Over $16,000 has been raised as of Thursday morning, with a goal set at $20,000.
