SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The NFL fined San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk $14,926 on Thursday for "engaging in offensive demonstrations."
According to the league, Juszczyk violated Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, when he did an "imitation of chugging a beer" with just under eight minutes left in the third quarter of the Niners' win against the Miami Dolphins.
Juszczyk immediately pushed back against the fine on social media before holding a brief, three-minute media session at his locker following practice Thursday.
Before that began, Juszczyk took the time to place a jug labeled in big letters "Not Beer" and put one of his thigh pads, emblazoned with a juice box, on his locker as a backdrop for the interview.
"I don't know how else to say it," Juszczyk said. "I wasn't drinking beer in my celebration. I think you guys all know my nickname is Juice. I have 'Juice' on my pads. The stadium yells 'Juice' when I catch the ball. When I celebrate, I celebrate by drinking juice, and it's been that way for years. I was as surprised as anybody when I got a fine."
In its fine notice, the league said that "players are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects positively on the game and is consistent with NFL standards of sportsmanship." It added that further offenses will result in an escalation of disciplinary action, up to and including suspension.

Halftime performers at the NFL's Big Game in February are exempt, obviously.
Just tell them it was juice and not beer. Dare them to prove otherwise
OR JUST STOP SHOWBOATING
So how did the NFLoosers decide it was a beer and not a Jack Daniels shot?
This clown show shows us just how pathetic “professional sports” has become. This is sicker than sick.
The No Fun League strikes again.
Does not the NFL get a lot of money from beer companies advertising their product during a game?
What’s funny is they put on a beer commercial right after the incident...............Probably not a good idea to denigrate your advertiser’s products..........
Knowing the NFL, if Juszczyk had an actual NFL-sponsored beer and drank it in the endzone, it probably would’ve been fine! :)
I find the constant display of Taylor Swift during Kansas City Chief football game broadcasts to be an “offensive demonstration” by the NFL.

I only watch part of the Chiefs game cuz Mahomes went to my alma mater and is from around these parts. I too am tired of seeing Mrs. Kelce yukking it up.
Ok...
So, how much did the NFL fine Stefan Diggs for dry-humping the goalpost after a TD?
White guys lose again...
……but it’s ok for Payton Manning to do commercials pimping for BudLight during NFL games……
I stopped caring about the national felon league years ago.
I for one am done caring about them.
All we are sayyy-ing...
Is give beer a chance!
