Mavs' player fined for cheering for NFL team
Armstrong to pay $1,000 to charity for shouting 'How 'bout those Redskins!'


DALLAS - Mavericks guard Darrell Armstrong was so happy his beloved Washington Redskins beat the Dallas Cowboys that he grabbed a microphone before Sunday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves and hollered, “How ’bout those Redskins!”

It’s going to cost him $1,000.

Dallas coach Avery Johnson announced the fine during his postgame news conference and team owner Mark Cuban later verified it was legit, much to the chagrin of a disbelieving Armstrong. The money will all go to charity, with Johnson saying the Cowboys would decide the recipient.



//This is the dumbest f'ing thing I have ever heard. This guy has a right to be a fan of another sport's team if he wants.

DUMB
