San Diego Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie was ordered to pay $2,500 for using Twitter to wonder whether the “nasty food” at training camp has contributed to the team failing to reach the Super Bowl in recent years.

Chargers coach Norv Turner pulled him out of a meeting Tuesday and notified him that he was being fined for his Twitter comments.

Cromartie said of the fine, “I ain’t going to take back what I said, “I said what I had to say. But at the end of the day, I mean, I got fined for talking about nutrition and that. I can’t really say too much else.”

“I just thought it was harmless. It was just me talking about the food and stuff. I took it as a joke. But other people took it as a different kind of way.”

“I didn’t think it would cause a stir like I did, but me being me, I think I’m going to keep my mouth shut from here on out,” he said. “I ain’t going to say nothing else. I want to make sure I keep everything positive. Obviously, I mean, I can’t really say what I really want to say. My freedom of speech has actually been taken away.”
