Dwayne Haskins went to a strip club Sunday night following Washington’s loss to the Seahawks and much like James Harden, a photograph surfaced showing him not wearing a mask and in direct violation of NFL COVID-19 protocols.

As a result, Haskins has been stripped of his captaincy and he was fined $40,000 for his actions. According to reporter Ian Rapoport, the decision to take away the captaincy was an internal team decision. This is Haskins second COVID-19 protocol offense, as early this season he invited a friend to the team hotel, the incident also resulted in a fine.

Dwayne Haskins is the second-high profile athlete to get slapped with a fine for going clubbing before or after a game. Houston Rockets star James Harden was hit with a $50,000 fine for going to a club and not wearing a mask.

Fans reacted harshly towards the young quarterback; many fans have cited his immaturity as a reason the team should not resign him following the 2020 season. Against the Seahawks, Haskins threw for 295 yards and a touchdown, he also threw two interceptions in the 20-15 losing effort.

Haskins future with Washington is in doubt for next season, especially following these irresponsible antics. The team will not release him now, but rather wait until the end of the season to make a decision.
