Kyle Juszczyk, 49ers teammates react to NFL celebration fine

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk and his teammates reacted after the NFL fined him $14,926 for a touchdown celebration during a Week 2 win against the Miami Dolphins. The league stated in a letter to Juszczyk that his imitation of chugging a beer constituted an offensive demonstration in poor taste. Juszczyk clarified that the celebration mimics drinking juice as a reference to his nickname, 'Juice', which he has performed for years.

Teammates George Kittle and Brock Purdy expressed confusion and voiced support for Juszczyk regarding the league's penalty. Juszczyk addressed the media with a container labeled 'Not Beer' placed at his locker, noting that he rarely drinks beer. Tackle Trent Williams also reacted critically to the league's ruling.
