Jones fined for tweet

MIAMI Dolphins safety Don Jones has been fined an undisclosed amount and will undergo educational training after a negative tweet about Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to be selected in the NFL draft.

Shortly after the St. Louis Rams took Sam in the seventh round on Saturday, Jones tweeted “OMG” and “Horrible.” Jones apologized for his comments and described them as inappropriate. The Dolphins reacted swiftly to Jones’ comments in the wake of the team’s bullying scandal last year, which embarrassed the NFL and prompted a nationwide debate about workplace harassment.
