Jets head coach Rex Ryan fined $50,000 after Dolphins fans tattle on him

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan was fined $50,000 by the team for shooting the bird to some Miami Dolphins fans at a MMA event in south Florida.  Miami resident David Hildenbrand, 24, took a picture of the incident and promptly plastered it all over the Internets for the world to see.

Hildenbrand says that a couple of his friends shouted to Ryan that, “Dolphins rule, Jets suck. “  Ryan responded with, “Go fuck yourselves“, and shot them the bird.

I fail to see what the problem is.  The Dolphins fans initiated the exchange with Ryan.  Am I to believe the Dolphins fans were somehow offended with what Ryan said and what he did?

I doubt it.

My only problem, if I even have one, is with Hildenbrand posting the picture online.  He should have known that Ryan was going to get some grief over this, grief he doesn’t deserve.  He should have kept quiet about the incident.  Hildenbrand and his friends evidently thought it would be fun to talk smack with the head couch of their football team’s biggest rival and the head coach decided to play along.

Big deal.

David Hildenbrand comes off looking like a tattletale.  Nobody likes a snitch and that is what Hildenbrand is.  He’s a snitch.

    I see it as another move in the game Rex started when he took over. Before the season even started he was going off about this and that, arguing back and forth with one of the Phin players. If he’s going to put himself out there in the media as some brash hardass guy than I don’t have a problem with Phin fans posting pics of him doing it at an event. And for the record, the Jets were swepted last year by the team he seems to think is lesser than his mighty club.

  2. @Ryan: The guy who posted the pic is still being a snitch. He and his buddies started crap with Ryan and he gave them crap back. The incident should have ended with everyone having a laugh. Instead, David Hildenbrand posts a picture and whines about it to the press.

    Nobody likes a snitch.
