Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson gets fine

The NFL has fined Chad Johnson for wearing "Ocho Cinco" on his nameplate before the game Sunday against Atlanta, according to ESPN.

Johnson referred to himself as "8-5" in Spanish last week and wore it on his jersey. Quarterback Carson Palmer tore the nameplate off, but it was too late. The NFL has hit Johnson for $5,000, which he is expected to appeal.

$5,000??!! "Outcho"!!

Doens't the NFL know it was National Hispanic Heritage Month in October.

Apparently they are a little on the Hipano-phobe side.

I just wanted to add to this and let those guys on Fox Sports know that Chad's dancing was great!!! He should not have been "fined" for his dancing. I would like to see those guys come in and try it out sometime!!!
Sincerely,
Chad's Dance Instructor
