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.
