NFL Rescinds Juszczyk’s $14,926 Celebration Fine

The NFL rescinded its $14,926 fine against San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk for a touchdown celebration it initially interpreted as beer-chugging, agreeing after his appeal that he was miming drinking a juice box. Juszczyk, nicknamed “Juice,” said the gesture was his customary celebration and criticized the fine as hypocritical given the league’s Bud Light sponsorships. The fine had drawn public criticism, and the reversal raised questions about whether the NFL would reconsider similar penalties. Juszczyk is expected to miss time after hyperextending his knee in a game against Denver.
