49ers Fullback Kyle Juszczyk Wins His Appeal on Fine over His ‘Juice’ Celebration
The league withdrew the $14,926 penalty after determining Kyle Juszczyk was miming a juice box, not a beer, during a Week 2 touchdown celebration.
- On Wednesday, the NFL rescinded a $14,926 fine against San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk after determining he was simulating drinking a juice box, not beer.
- The league initially cited Juszczyk for an 'imitation of chugging a beer' during a Week 2 victory over the Miami Dolphins, deeming the celebration an 'offensive demonstration' in poor taste.
- Defending his actions, Juszczyk argued he was mimicking drinking juice, a celebration tied to his nickname 'Juice' that fans at the Niners' stadium regularly chant.
- Stating the fine was hypocritical, Juszczyk pointed to the NFL's extensive Bud Light sponsorships, including naming rights at the stadium, as evidence of inconsistent enforcement.
- Meanwhile, Juszczyk remains sidelined after suffering a bone bruise in a Week 4 win over the Denver Broncos, with tight end Brayden Willis covering this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.
