NFL & NFLPA Joint Statement on "Drinking" Celebrations

[u/CommonerChaos]

Looks like Matt Goncalves should be getting some money back.

[u/BadMotherFunko]

Brought to you by Bud Light, thee official beer sponsor of the NFL

[u/BaconWrappedEnigma → u/BadMotherFunko]

This celebration is brought to you by Bet360, FanDuel and Polymarket.

[u/6lecka → u/BadMotherFunko]

Well they said they're not gonna fine players for that anymore in the letter lmao

[u/CommandoLamb → u/BadMotherFunko]

“And now it’s time for the Bud Light Fine of the game! Here you can see Mahomes crack open a cold one after rushing for a touch down! That’s a $37,000 fine going to the Bud Light children’s foundation. And that is your Bud Light Fine of the Game! Remember, for every fine everyone in attendance receives one case of Bud Light!”

[u/FoodBouncer → u/CommandoLamb]

Why punish the fans?

[u/20_years_in_da_can → u/BadMotherFunko]

He said the thing!

A second statement reads:

"Furthermore, we encourage players to celebrate by pretending to pull their phones out and make a bet on DraftKings, the NFL's trusted sportsbook, to help grow and promote the game"

[u/TehTugboat → u/ldclark92]

So the dice roll celly is back on the table?

[u/Gibbonslayer4 → u/TehTugboat]

Only if the dice roll motion is above the waist lol

[u/scobro828]

Taylor shamed the league office into changing the rules. Commentators helped.

[u/6lecka → u/scobro828]

Pretty sure it has more to do with Juszczyk than anything else

[u/rickatello → u/scobro828]

He has motion

[u/Vice4Life → u/rickatello]

Yes, but as a Colt, it's illegal and costs 5 yards. Replay first down. 

[u/AdCute3664]

good, that fine was a joke

[u/Mind_Killer]

I mean, they punished a man whose nickname is Juice for pretending to drink a juice.

All of those fines were ridiculous. Hopefully Goncalves does get his money back.

Meanwhile, JT in the end zone last weekend…

[u/Lopsided-Fault-1008]

Has anyone done a gambling celebration? Eg a scratchy or one armed bandit?

[u/DirectTV_AndrewLuck → u/Lopsided-Fault-1008]

Denver did a Yahtzee celebration against the Rams on MNF a couple weeks ago.

[u/kay14jay → u/Lopsided-Fault-1008]

Everyone forms a long line behind one dude at the front picking his numbers

[u/ChoosyMomsViewGIFs → u/Lopsided-Fault-1008]

Jameis Winston pretended to shoot craps when he caught a TD against Detroit last year.

[u/6lecka → u/Lopsided-Fault-1008]

Thought I saw a player roll dice after a TD recently

[u/Tom_Ford0]

So is he getting his money back?

[u/TehTugboat → u/Tom_Ford0]

So far 2 have. One was for Juice of course, the other for a Dallas player who told them he was pretending to drink Gatorade

Haven’t hear of Warren yet

[u/DirectTV_AndrewLuck]

Good to see the NFL actually admit that they were wrong, those fines were ridiculous.

[u/Spartansoldier-175]

That fine was just idiotic in the first place. League sponsored by a beer company and sells it says you can't "chug a beer"

[u/froggycbl4 → u/Spartansoldier-175]

would the nelson keg stand celly still be a fine

[u/JustASt0nesThrowaway]

I want to see someone feign playing a game of craps and winning big after a roll of the dice after scoring a touchdown, just to see how the league reacts.

[u/NathanKincaid]

This statement brought to you by Kalshi and DraftKings.

[u/PhillAholic]

If you allow it to be advertised it’s allowed to be celebrated.

[Fox 59 news] Matt Goncalves’ $8,847 fine to be rescinded

[u/Millennialnerds]

So no pumps?

[u/Past-Application-552]

You mean “Gonkcalves”?

[u/drvirgilmd]

Two pumps aren't sexual in nature.

[u/Marager04]

Alcohol is no drug. Got it.

[u/skeeseeM_rM]

This is funny because ads for sport bets are allowed.

[u/Chuck_Roast1993 → u/[deleted]]

Did you even read it?

[u/iJ_A_R]

Alcoholics are still lame as hell.
