Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch voiced his displeasure on Twitter Thursday after the NFL fined teammate Chris Matthews more than $11,000 for making an obscene gesture during the Seahawks' come-from-behind win against the Green Bay Packers in Sunday's NFC championship game.

Never mind the fact that Lynch himself was also fined $20,000 for making an obscene gesture during that same game.

Here's what Lynch tweeted Thursday afternoon:

Though it wasn't because of the handshake that wide receiver Matthews was penalized, USA TODAY Sports' Tom Pelissero attests:

#Seahawks WR Chris Matthews was fined $11,025 for grabbing his own crotch after the TD -- not for shaking Marshawn Lynch's hand.
