49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk Reaps Unexpected Benefit From Double NFL Fines
49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk received a surprisingly sweet benefit after his chugging celebration resulted in an NFL fine.
San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, known as "Juice," faced unexpected financial benefits after receiving two $14,926 fines for simulating chugging a drink on the field during a Week 2 game. The NFL initially classified the act as unsportsmanlike conduct due to illegal celebrations and vulgar acts, but rescinded the fines after Juszczyk clarified that he was simulating drinking a juice box, not a beer.
The league also noted that Juszczyk's fine was hypocritical due to the numerous Bud Light sponsorships surrounding the NFL. Juszczyk subsequently received marketing deals from Ocean Spray and C4 Energy drinks, with Ocean Spray offering a promotion of 14,926 bottles of juice. As a 10-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time First-Team All-Pro, Juszczyk is currently playing for an undefeated team and is considered a legitimate NFC contender for the Super Bowl.
