Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James called out the NFL on social media Wednesday after it was revealed that a viral content creator working for the league was suspended for the season following "his participation" in Tyreek Hill’s touchdown celebration last month. 

Kevin Fitzgibbons, a 20-year-old junior from the University of Miami who has worked on creating content for the Miami Dolphins wide receiver, posted a video to social media earlier this week explaining how his credentials for the seasons were suspended.

Fitzgibbons said he had applied for a job at the NFL in 2022 and had been hired to cover Dolphins games in Miami. 

Then in Week 6 during Miami’s game against the Carolina Panthers, Hill scored a touchdown and ran over to where Fitzgibbons was working, and grabbed his phone as part of the celebration. 

Hill was given a penalty, and Fitzgibbons explained, "the NFL then let me know that I would be suspended for the remainder of the season and possibly for good."
