why did jerry jones get fined

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was fined $250,000 by the NFL for making an obscene gesture, specifically raising his middle finger, toward fans during the Cowboys' 37-22 win over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. Jones claimed that the gesture was inadvertent and that he intended to give a thumbs-up to Cowboys fans rather than Jets supporters. He apologized for the act, explaining that it happened in excitement after the Cowboys scored their last touchdown and was not meant to be antagonistic. Jones is reportedly contesting the fine and may appeal the NFL's decision.
