Jets: Scott’s Obscene Gesture ‘Inappropriate and Unacceptable’

The New York Jets have fined line­backer Bart Scott $ 10,000 for an obscene ges­ture aimed at a pho­tog­ra­pher in the team’s locker room on Mon­day, the team announced Thursday.

“Bart’s actions were inap­pro­pri­ate and unac­cept­able,” the team said in a statement.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello con­firmed Tues­day that the league was review­ing the inci­dent that occurred as play­ers cleared out their lock­ers at the team’s facil­ity in Florham Park, N.J., after fail­ing to make the play­offs. Scott gath­ered items from his locker, walked past reporters and then turned, stuck out his mid­dle fin­ger and used an exple­tive while telling a pho­tog­ra­pher to get the cam­era out of his face.

It is uncer­tain whether Scott, who has a $ 4.2 mil­lion base salary that is fully guar­an­teed next sea­son, will be back with the Jets.

In sep­a­rate inter­views on 1050 ESPN Radio this week, gen­eral man­ager Mike Tan­nen­baum and coach Rex Ryan said Scott’s behav­ior was “unacceptable.”

“I don’t know exactly how,” Ryan added, “but that sit­u­a­tion will def­i­nitely be addressed.”

Ryan him­self was fined $ 75,000 by the NFL in Novem­ber for using pro­fan­ity while angrily respond­ing to a fan at half­time of a home game, and was fined $ 50,000 in 2010 for an obscene ges­ture aimed at fans at a mixed mar­tial arts event dur­ing Super Bowl week in 2010, accord­ing to the New York Daily News.
