San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk has been fined $14,926 by the NFL for engaging in an offensive demonstration during Sunday's game against Miami, per ESPN. The fine was issued for what the NFL described in its letter as an "imitation of chugging a beer," which the league said "could reasonably be construed as being in poor taste."
According to reporting from Adam Schefter, Juszczyk has celebrated touchdowns and first downs throughout his NFL career with a chugging motion as an homage to his nickname "Juice." This marks the first time he has been fined for the gesture. Yahoo Sports reported that Juszczyk is appealing the NFL's decision.
Juszczyk responded to the fine by texting that he does not even drink beer, per Schefter's reporting.
