Well the league has spoken. Foster was fined $20 thousand for the hit.
In response, Ochocinco delivered a personal note to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Twitter, referring to him as "Dad."
"Dad no disrespect but I don't agree with @mason_foster fine n I'll be reimbursing him personally,"@Ochocinco wrote to @nflcommish. "Please feel free to contact me."
Mason responded back with a simple, "thanks bruh I appreciate that."

Players are not allowed to pay other players fines, so Ocho will have to let this one go or get hit with a fine of his own.
The Steelers James Harrison, no stranger to the NFL fine, asked Chad if he would get the same fine. @Ochocino replied back with this:
"Yeah but i still have last years fine fund,won't need it in New England RT @jharrison9292: @ochocinco Can u get that same thing?"
