Rob McElhenney Offered to Pay Jalyx Hunt’s Unsportsmanlike Conduct Fine, Which Turned into a Charity Effort

Jalyx Hunt was fined by the NFL for his Super Bowl sack celebration. Rob McElhenney offered to pay the fine, and Hunt instead asked if people could put their money into charity instead:

Hey @jalyx_hunt if this is true hit me up.

Sorry, to clarify… do not hit me. DM me.

I’ll pay this fine. Worth every penny. https://t.co/9mUSD5WUdI

First things first, this has got to be the lamest fine ever. It’s a bow and arrow, and he’s not exactly standing over Patrick Mahomes and aiming it at him. He’s just off to the side making the motion. Second, good on Rob M. for stepping up and good on Jalyx for spinning this into a charity effort instead. Beautiful.

Hunt linked to a fundraiser that helps students from Boys Latin Of Philadelphia High School go on college tours. Because of the above activity on social media, there’s been a flurry of donations and more than $13,000 of a $20,000 goal has been raised.

Here’s the blurb from the fundraiser:

Access provides inspiration! This fall 40 young warriors of Boys Latin Of Philadelphia High School will be invited to a college tour. BWC is banning together to assist funding the cost of the bus, hotel rooms, & food costs for this college tour to help increase the number of schools the students can visit!  We are asking our friends, family, & clients to help us reach our goal of sparking the desire for these young warriors to pursue higher education through an on campus experience. Our belief is that an on campus experience will expose the students to an experience that could lead to their next source of inspiration, motivation, and education to equip them for their version of greatness. Historically each college visit for a group of 40 students have cost between $30,000-$35,000. With our help more students can be exposed to this life changing experience. 

On March 12th, BWC will be serving the Boys Latin Of Philadelphia High School with a free haircutting event right before their Mother & Son Dance, and presenting the 2025 college tour fund donations from our fundraiser.
