The taunting incident did not go well with the authorities and hence they imposed a hefty fine on the experienced WR. He was awarded the penalty just two days after he unveiled his new debit card collection on Twitter. The timing of the punishment and the tweet has marked an interesting coincidence for the wide receiver. 

Why Stefon Diggs received support from the Bills?

The incident occurred after Diggs caught a 53-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter of the game against LA. Meanwhile, Ramsey also has a troubled relationship with the Bills. He called the Bills QB “trash” in an interview and it caused an uproar in the team.
