The NFL fined San Francisco tight end George Kittle for wearing a vulgar T-shirt under his jersey last Sunday night, ESPN reported Friday.
In the fourth quarter of the 49ers’ 42-10 win against the Cowboys, Kittle raised his red No. 85 jersey to reveal a grey shirt with the words “F— Dallas” in blue letters.
Kittle, who said he expected to be fined, will reportedly have to cough up $13,659 for his use of abusive language — or $4,553 for each of the three touchdowns he scored against Dallas.
“I wore a personalized T-shirt, maybe an inappropriate word,” Kittle told reporters Thursday. “So it is what it is. It was a decision I made. If they want to fine me, they fine me.”
Kittle, who turned 30 on Monday, scored his first three touchdowns of the season against the Cowboys, finishing the lopsided win with 67 yards.
The four-time Pro Bowl selection has 412 catches for 5,469 yards and 34 touchdowns in 87 games (79 starts) since the 49ers drafted him in the fifth round in 2017.
