  "account": "San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk faced a $14,926 fine from the NFL for his celebratory act resembling a beer chug after a game. The league deemed it an offensive display in poor taste. Juszczyk claims he doesn't consume beer, and after the fine, 49ers tight end George Kittle responded with a humorous photo. Kittle shared a snap of Juszczyk drinking a Bud Light in a hot tub before practice, tagging the player and expressing disbelief. The image went viral, garnering support from NFL fans who deemed the fine absurd. Many social media users pointed out the irony of the NFL targeting the player for his gesture while the league itself remains without a perfect record. Kittle's post has resonated with fans, who find the NFL's reaction both comical and overzealous.",
