The Jadon Sancho DFL tweet caught the eye of a few social media users this week before the Dortmund star eventually deleted his tweet. The Jadon Sancho DFL tweet initially labelled the German Football League (DFL) an 'absolute joke' after they levied a reported €10,000 fine on him for getting a haircut in his home, breaking coronavirus lockdown rules in the process. The Jadon Sancho lockdown violation earned the Dortmund attacker a fine from the DFL after images surfaced showing a barber chopping Sancho's hair without either of the two wearing a face mask.
