Remember when Tyreek Hill took a selfie during a backflip in the endzone during the Week 6 football game between the Miami Dolphins and Carolina Panthers?

Well, the cameraman who lent him his phone to chronicle the moment is in trouble.

The NFL has suspended that cameraman, Kevin Fitzgibbons, for the remainder of the 2023 season and "possibly for good" for allowing Hill to use his camera to record his endzone backflip.

Hill's video celebration went viral as a result of him using the phone as a prop and apparently Fitzgibbons and Hill are friends, based on a social media post by Fitzgibbons (goes by kfitz).

Hill was not fined for that stunt but was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
