Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> S DeShon Elliott<\/a> has a bone to pick with the NFL \u2014 which recently fined him for wearing a black towel on game day, prompting a profane response on social media.<\/p>\n

Following Elliott’s fine, the Steelers<\/a> safety took to Instagram to blast the NFL for worrying about the “wrong things,” calling on the league to fix more important issues plaguing the game today.<\/p>\n

“Count your f—— days,” Elliott wrote on his Instagram story. “Y’all worried about the wrong things. Let’s fix things that actually mean something.”<\/p>\n

Elliott can still appeal the fine, which would trigger a scheduled hearing \u2014 but it remains to be seen if the dynamic defensive back will pursue these measures.<\/p>\n

In Pittsburgh’s Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings<\/a>, Elliott’s performance still outshined any pointless fine from the NFL \u2014 putting together six tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, and one interception.<\/p>\n
