“Suspended for one year, maybe even permanently!” James added. “Come on NFL! Do better! S*** isn’t that serious.”
Many on social media certainly agree with King’s stance… because after all, Hill’s end zone party with photographers is by far one of the best moments of the year in the NFL.
It all happened on Oct. 15… after Hill scored six points against the Carolina Panthers.
Once he crossed the goal line, he sprinted through the end zone — when he noticed his photo and good friend Kevin Fitzgibbons While filming him, he grabbed the man’s camera and performed a backflip for a selfie. Fitzgibbons jumped up and down and Hill looked in good spirits.

However, the league clearly didn’t like the approach – referees penalized Hill for using a prop during the game, and officials later fined him for it. Subsequently, the league also disqualified Fitzgibbons from the remainder of the 2023 season.
In a video posted to his TikTok page this week, the 20-year-old photographer said he understands the NFL’s decision … and said he’s grateful for the opportunity the NFL gave him. He added that he hopes the league can bring him back next year.
Hill, meanwhile, declined to comment publicly on the matter, writing on his X page, “I will comment but I may be fined.”
