Tyreek Hill gives hilarious justification for illegal celebration after NFL ref warning

May 2024 · 2 minute read

All Tyreek Hill wants to do is spread world peace, but the NFL keeps saying no.

Hilarious new footage shows the Miami Dolphins speedster receiving a pre-game warning from a league referee.

“Have a great game today," Hill is told by an NFL official during warmups before a recent Miami game. "Two things. Make sure we get set on the shifts. And no peace signs, please."

As Hill pulls back in mock disbelief, the ref explains that he doesn't want to be inserted in the middle of a controversial penalty debate.

"I don't want to have to make a decision," the ref said.

Hill then delivers a brilliant one-liner, stating that the only reason he employs the gesture during his touchdown celebrations is because he's trying to make the world a better place.

"I'm spreading world peace!" the Dolphin said.

"I know," the ref replied.

As Hill jokingly tries to come up with a slightly different celebration symbol, he gives in and makes peace with the ref.

"Just don't do anything," the ref said, before giving Hill a friendly pat.

Hill, a seven-time Pro Bowler, was previously fined $10,927 for unsportsmanlike conduct after displaying a peace sign on the way to the end zone.

He was also fined $7,000 for not wearing socks against the Denver Broncos.

"I was getting an IV and I didn't want to be late for the play," Hill said. "So I didn't have time to put on my socks."

The Dolphins receiver has burned NFL defenses for 79 catches, 1,222 receiving yards and nine touchdowns this season.

Miami is 7-3 and tied with three teams, including Hill's old squad the Kansas City Chiefs, for the second-best record in the AFC.

Hill has continually been one of the NFL's best and most interesting players since entering the league in 2016 as a fifth-round pick.

When he was fined in October, he tweeted that the "NFL fining me more than 100k is classic NFL."
