Michael Pittman Jr., the wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts, was encouraged by the celebratory style of Tyreek Hill.
This was evident in the Colts game against the Cleveland Browns.

Pittman was successful in scoring a touchdown reception of 75 yards and with that, he gave the Colts a pleasant lead over the Browns.
However, the eye-catching peace gesture was made by him when he made his way towards the end zone.
Nevertheless, with the touchdown and its subsequent peace gesture, Pittman received a fine of $10,927 from the league.
Meanwhile, the fines have been recently made more regular by the talented wide receiver Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins.
The league has placed notable emphasis on using any gestures on the field. They have been enforcing the rule, as these gestures might seem insulting or deprecating to the other individual and further the team.
These celebratory gestures, however, might lead to animosity between the players and also mock sportsmanlike behaviour. Pittman’s touchdown came through his second catch and he turned into an amazing point.
