Kyle Juszczyk Wins Appeal of NFL Fines for Fake-Chugging Celebrations
Juszczyk had received two fines of $14,926 each.
The NFL imposed fines of $14,926 each on 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk for his pretend-chugging celebrations during a Week 2 victory against the Dolphins. Juszczyk, known as "Juice," had previously used the gesture in his career and denied drinking alcohol. The league fined him for both celebrations, totaling $29,852. Juszczyk's appeal was resolved by one of the appeals officers appointed by the NFL and the NFL Players Association to handle on-field discipline cases.
The fines were upheld, but Juszczyk does not have to pay them. The NFL issued a total of 22 fines, amounting to $300,089, in Week 2 games. Most of these were for illegal celebrations and vulgar acts, while only five players were fined in the following Week 3 games.
