NFL fines George Kittle after T-shirt taunt against Dallas Cowboys

George Kittle has been a key factor for the San Francisco 49ers in a tremendous start of the 2023 season with a 5-1 record. They’re candidates to reach the Super Bowl in the NFC alongside the Philadelphia Eagles.

A week ago, the 49ers absolutely dominated the Cowboys with a 42-10 victory. Kittle was sensational with three touchdowns for the first time in his illustrious career.

San Francisco’s roster seems unstoppable with names such as Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Nick Bosa, Fred Warner and, of course, the presence of Kittle.

Right now, the tight end is in the middle of a huge controversy in the NFL after he mocked the Dallas Cowboys with a T-shirt. It was a massive insult in another episode of the historic rivalry.

“I’d do it again. One hundred percent. Probably to get a fine. I wore a personalized T-shirt, maybe an inappropriate word. So it is what it is. It was a decision I made. If they want to fine me, they fine me.”
