"An umpire gets tough because he blows the whistle. Screw these guys. At least like the guys in Major League Baseball, just fat kids hanging around. Now I think every umpire should be suspended for the behavior of others.

The National Football League seems to be moving with the times.

The league has rescinded its fine against Jameson Williams for his smoking party after the Detroit Lions wide receiver argued that "marijuana is legal."

Recreational marijuana is legal in Michigan, where Williams plays its home games, along with 23 other states and Washington, D.C.

Williams, Amon Ra St. Brown and Jahmir Gibbs celebrated together at a game against the Bills in Buffalo, where recreational marijuana is also legal in the state. The three were fined $14,926 and $11,941 each.

"Although I have overturned the penalty, please do your best to celebrate with your teammates as best you can," appeals officer Derrick Brooks wrote, according to the NFL Network.

Williams' teammates have yet to respond to their appeal.

The NFL used to suspend players for repeatedly testing positive for marijuana, but dropped it in 2020.

Several party fines have been overturned this week, including Kyle Juszczyk's drinking party after he said he was drinking juice, not beer. His nickname is also "Juice", which fans chant in unison during his big runs. However, the linebacker pointed out that a fine for celebrating beer would be hypocritical, given the league's endorsement deals with alcohol brands.

Williams has been penalized numerous times for certain moves and taunts — nine times, to be exact. These fines cost him $140,686.

The receiver has also been suspended on two occasions, one for performance-enhancing substances and the other for gambling violations.
