The Canadian Football League fined B.C. Lions defensive lineman Khalif Mitchell on Wednesday for making derogatory remarks about Chinese people on his Twitter account.
The league said in a statement that the comments were "unacceptable" and are in violation of the league's social media policy.
Mitchell made a statement at practice on Wednesday, saying in part that he apologizes to anyone he may have offended by his tweets. He did not take any questions on the incident from the media.
The fine marks the third time that Mitchell has been disciplined by the league this season. He was suspended for two games for hyper-extending the arm of Edmonton's Simeon Rottier during a game on July 20. He was also fined for making several throat-slash gestures against Edmonton in a game on Sep. 22.
The league did not disclose the amount of the latest fine.
