Every single person in the world has, at one time or another, farted when it was not appropriate. In all likelihood, the President of the United States on occasion accidentally lets one rip during a cabinet meeting or something.
So with that in mind, we can’t too harshly judge Super Bowl MVP Von Miller for passing gas in team meetings and Dancing with the Stars practices. But we also can’t blame those around Miller for being unpleased with what seems to be chronic flatulence.
We first learned about Miller’s farting last summer, when Miller revealed himself to be a common victim of the Broncos’ fart tax…
Von Miller said the Broncos have a fine system for, um, flatulence in meetings. Said he thinks he's been fined the most.

… but the issue has resurfaced now that the defensive end is a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, where Miller’s partner, Witney Carson McAllister, is charging him $100 per fart. We know this because, well, Miller told us.
So Von Miller is fined $100 for tooting in #DWTS rehearsals. Wow. Glad this isn't smell-a-vision. pic.twitter.com/xcBk7bVZ5C

We kind of agree with Miller: it seems like McAllister is taking advantage of him! She just announced that she personally gets $100 for every fart (and maybe even every swear!). That hardly seems fair.
Then again, $100 is 0.0007 percent of the $14,129,000 Miller will make in 2016, so maybe it’s OK.
