LeBron James has an issue with a suspension the NFL placed on a content creator after a Tyreek Hill touchdown celebration.
“Man this is F’d UP!!! Suspended for the year and possibly for good!” James wrote in an Instagram story. “C’mon NFL! Do better! S— ain’t that serious.”
Last month, the Dolphins wide receiver caught a 41-yard pass in the, 42-21, win over the Carolina Panthers. When he celebrated the touchdown, he grabbed the cellphone from a content creator on the sidelines and tapped himself doing a backflip.

Not only was the credential taken away from the content creator, but Hill was fined. That’s the post James was referring to in his Instagram story.
Hill reposted the original video and wrote, “I would comment but I could get fined.”
The creator, 20-year-old Kevin Fitzgibbons, went on to social media to talk about how he began his journey in sports media by filming high school basketball games to being on the sidelines to work every Dolphins home game.
“One of the best moments of my life turned upside down in a matter of seconds,” he said.

Fitzgibbons said the NFL told him the disciplinary action had to due to the fact that he was jumping.
