True, true.

i like the hockey idea for serious fouls like hits to the head and fights. makes it more of a team game, it would seem, though i've never put on a set of pads it my life.

this celebration thing...wtf that makes the game twice as enjoyable.

So let it be written...

GAAAAAAY.

We are men. We are competitive. We taunt each other, we've been doing it since grade school. It's a ****ing sport. Get over it, no one cares about taunting.

No, Tate should get his bell rung by the next defender within a kill shot. But that is already deemed illegal.

Bennie Thompson approves of this post.

This.

I really don't give two shits about taunting. It fuels rivalries and adds emotion to the game. Nothing better than to see a taunting Bronco get laid the **** out by a Chief.

They could tack on double penalties. I do not believe in taking scores away but a double unsportsmanlike penalty could wake them up a bit. Enforce it after the kickoff. 15 yards, everybody looks around and says huh, what? 30+ yards, we have a panic on our hands on the other teams next possession.

Exactly.

The only reason Golden Taint demonstrated that non sense was he KNEW that no one could retaliate on him later on or they would get fined or suspended.

In the old days, you would NEVER see a player do something like that because they would end up on a stretcher before the end of the game . . .

just give them blacks twenty lashes

no but he should have been punched in the throat...

Yeah, they are just going to keep ****ing with game until they ruin it. The QBs should already have to wear skirts.

Really?

What does race have to do with this??

So you believe the majority of NFL fans would have been fine with this act if it was, say, Rob Gronkowski doing it?

**** Goodell. He doesn't seem to understand that this is a show. The players are nothing but dancing monkeys who are paid a shit load to entertain. A shit load that is handed over by the fans or by the networks because the fans watch and then they can make money off the fans.

It is one thing when it comes to safety and I understand that; however, if your goal is to remove the entertainment value out of the game then it will soon be hitting the shitter.

If you want to punish taunting or excessive celebration, start handing out quarter-long suspensions and dock a quarter of a week's pay. That ought to get the player's attention.
