Tough Fallout from Tyreek Touchdown
Remember that really cool touchdown celebration when Tyreek Hill grabbed a cell phone from a gentleman in the back of the end zone and did filmed himself doing a backflip?
Well, it's back in the news, though the Miami Dolphins wide receiver is staying quiet about it because he doesn't want to get fined.
Hill has gotten fined plenty of times already this season for celebration or uniform violations, but he didn't get fined for that stunt after that touchdown against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. Hill did, however, get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
And the man whose phone he grabbed in the back of the end zone did get punished by the NFL, who revoked his credentials for the remainder of the 2023 season.
THE BACK STORY
And it turns out that Kevin Fitzgibbons and Hill are friends, based on a social media post by Fitzgibbons (goes by kfitz).
Fitzgibbons explains he became friends with Hill and other NFL stars after learning how to work in social media, and Hill even called him out by name after that Carolina game.
Fitzgibbons, a student at the University of Miami, said his credential was revoked because he was caught jumping on the sidelines after Hill's touchdown celebration in the Carolina game. He was wearing an NFL Media shirt on that day.
Maybe the craziest part about the story is that Hill's celebration was shown on one of the NFL's social media accounts before it was deleted.
