Bud Light leans in to fines for beer celebrations

The Church Lady has commandeered the league office.

The NFL has recently imposed fines on players who were caught mimicking the consumption of a beverage that the league presumed to be beer. Bud Light, the NFL's official beer sponsor, has taken full advantage of this situation. The league issued three fines to players this week, with the total amount of fines reaching $37,384. This amount was displayed on a jar by the Bud Light official Twitter account, sparking a conversation about the potential number of beers that could be purchased with that sum.

The fines were issued to Kyle Juszczyk of the 49ers, who was fined $14,926, Matt Goncalves of the Colts, fined $8,847, and Jake Ferguson of the Cowboys, who was fined $13,611. Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News noted that the Cowboys have Miller Lite logos all over their backdrop for their press conferences in Brazil, where they will be playing the Ravens this weekend. This situation seems hypocritical for the NFL, as the league emphasizes do as we say, not as we brew.
