Celebrities using social medias to promote brands and earn money from it must absolutely declare the partnership.

However, that seems a bit harsh.
It's more probable that he'll be fined, if charges are made against him.
Let's not forget there's the possibility that McDavid just likes that brand and isn't affiliated with it. In that case, what he did is perfectly legal.
