The National Football League has rescinded the $14,926 fine it imposed on San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk after determining that the player was drinking juice, not beer, during a celebratory moment. ESPN reported that the league’s review found the beverage in question did not match a beer and that the celebration did not violate its conduct rules.

The fine had originally been announced following footage that appeared to show Juszczyk chugging a beer on the sidelines. The NFL has long maintained strict policies regarding alcohol consumption during games, and the league had issued the penalty before conducting a full analysis of the incident.

In its review, the NFL officials examined the footage and concluded that the liquid in Juszczyk’s hand was a juice-like beverage. Because the celebration was deemed harmless and not in breach of the league’s regulations, the fine was withdrawn and the player’s record was cleared of the penalty.

This decision underscores the NFL’s commitment to accurate enforcement and its willingness to correct errors when evidence warrants. It also highlights the league’s ongoing scrutiny of player conduct, especially concerning alcohol, and may influence how future infractions are evaluated and adjudicated.
