Tyreek Hill is known for his iconic celebration, where, as he approaches the end zone, he displays a peace sign. However, this celebration has become an annoyance for the referees. In the video, referee Bill Vinovich can be seen giving a warning to Hill, stating, “Have a great game today. Two things: Be sure you get set on your shifts and no peace signs, please. I don’t want to have to make a decision.”
To this, Hill could be hilariously seen responding, “I’m spreading world peace!” But Vinovich was not in the mood to listen to his excuses and in a rather stern tone replied, “Just don’t do anything after, man.”
