49ers star fined $15K for ‘offensive demonstration in poor taste’ as ‘No Fun League’ strikes again
Kyle Juszczyk is commonly known as “Juice” by his San Francisco 49ers teammates.
His nickname was inspired by how he’s long celebrated touchdowns and first downs. And for acting out his chugging tradition against the Dolphins, Juszczyk has been fined $14,926.
“Your imitation of chugging a beer constituted an offensive demonstration and could reasonably be construed as being in poor taste,” the NFL wrote in its fine letter.
This marks the first time Juszczyk has been fined for his celebratory pantomime. The 49ers fullback has already appealed the fine and shared his reaction with NFL insider Adam Schefter.
“And I don’t even drink beer!” Juszczyk texted Schefter.
The 35-year-old also posted a reaction to the wild fine on X, writing: “Can’t make this stuff up…”
Juszcyzk scored his first touchdown of the season in the 49ers’ 35–13 win over Miami. The veteran has spent 10 seasons with San Francisco, earning nine Pro Bowl honors with the team.
Despite spending more than a decade in the league, it’s evident that whoever issued the fine wasn’t aware that Juszcyzk’s celebration involves downing imaginary juice, not beer.
