The NFL, which many have dubbed the "No Fun League," later fined Hill $12,875 on Jan. 22 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
To make the most of the buzz surrounding the fine, Hill's foundation encouraged donations to surpass the NFL's fine.
By Wednesday afternoon, the foundation announced it has raised $12,877.
GOAL SURPASSED!
