NFL fined 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk twice for imitating chugging a beer
49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk took offense at a $14,926 fine he received this week for "engaging in offensive demonstrations."
The San Francisco 49ers' fullback Kyle Juszczyk has been fined twice by the NFL for his celebrations, with a total of $29,852. One fine came after a 6-yard touchdown reception with 5:46 left in the third quarter, while the second fine followed a 21-yard reception four plays earlier. The NFL claimed that Juszczyk was imitating chugging a beer during these celebrations, but Juszczyk maintains that he was simply honoring his nickname "Juice".
He stated that he was not actually drinking beer and emphasized that his nickname is well-known, both on his pads and among the stadium crowd. Juszczyk is appealing the fines, having previously appealed a Week 1 fine of $20,033 for unnecessary roughness. The NFL also imposed fines on other 49ers, including cornerback Upton Stout ($7,501 for taunting) and defensive lineman Keion White ($13,770 for using excessive force on a hit).
