NFL Fines: $15K for Matt Light Hair Pulling, Channing Crowder for Getting Hair Pulled

Patriots offensive lineman Matt Light and Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder both got ejected for this altercation, in which Light pulled Crowder's hair:

Now they've both been fined $15,000 -- but not suspended -- for their actions, Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting (via PFT).

So, basically, pulling someone's hair and getting your hair pulled are equally punishable offenses, according to the NFL. I'm having a hard time understanding how Light -- who also threw punches in addition to pulling hair -- didn't also get suspended.

Of course, Joey Porter will continue to talk trash and emerge unscathed. Some things never change.
