While many in the NFL world are trying to make sense of the situation involving Joe Mixon and what he did, and more importantly, did not<\/em> say, J.J. Watt summarized it quite impressively Friday in an X post calling out the league.<\/p>\n

For those who missed the bizarre story involving Mixon, the NFL fined the Houston Texans running back for something he allegedly said after the team\u2019s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round.<\/p>\n

The NFL fined him $25,000 for allegedly saying, \u201cWhy play the game if every 50\/50 call goes with Chiefs? These officials are trash and bias.\u201d Yet Mixon never said that; former Bengals star T.J. Houshmandzadeh made the remark, which appeared in a media report.<\/p>\n

After Mixon complained about the fine on social media (\u201cWhat\u2019s next? I get fined by them for Connor McDavid cross-checking an opponent in an NHL game?\u201d) the NFL reissued the fine for something else Mixon said that might be construed as mildly critical of the officiating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watt checked in on the issue Friday in a terse X post calling out the NFL. The NFL Today<\/em> analyst reposted a Pro Football Talk story about the original fine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has not received enough attention,\u201d Watt wrote. \u201cHe got fined for something he didn\u2019t say. Publicly complained about it (correctly). Then got fined for that. What are we doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n
