No Fun League (chapter 2,743)
Tyreek Hill celebrates his TD last weekend by grabbing a photog's cellphone and recording himself doing a backflip. He's then assessed a taunting penalty. But even worse, the photographer has been suspended by the league. However, Hill says he will pay the guys salary. Nice gesture.
MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said Thursday he will pay the salary of a photographer whose game credential was suspended by the NFL.
In a video posted to social media on Tuesday, photographer Kevin Fitzgibbons, who is contracted by the NFL to shoot Dolphins home games, said he was suspended for the remainder of the season "and possibly for good" by the league for his role in Hill's touchdown celebration against the Carolina Panthers during a win in Week 6.
After scoring, Hill took Fitzgibbons' cell phone and filmed himself doing a backflip, after which the photographer was seen excitedly jumping up and down before he left the field to send the clip to the NFL, according to Fitzgibbons.
"The NFL then let me know I would be suspended for the remainder of the season, and possibly for good," Fitzgibbons narrated in his video. "They said regardless [of] if I knew the celebration was coming or not, I still had to be disciplined and that I shouldn't have jumped on the sidelines after the play."
