So you think it is an honorable and manly thing to do to taunt another player when the taunted player is subject to being penalized for retaliating with violence.

Unless you wise up, you deserve a fart in your general direction or the loss of your man card, if you have not forfeited that already.

Why can't they retaliate later?

So you are suggesting a premeditated attempt to injure without being penalized?

I suppose you do not know the difference between "heat of passion" manslaughter and first-degree premeditated murder.

We live in a society that more severely punishes people who premeditatedly injure or kill with design of avoiding detection. People that are provoked and act in the heat of the moment are considered to be less morally culpable.

It was chickensh*t for Golden Tate to taunt like he did on that TD, and that single play is the reason this subject may come up before the competition committee.

It might even be more chickensh*t to plan on taking a cheapshot on a later play with the hopes of injuring the player and making it look unplanned.

No way. Cassel would throw 25 TDs in a league like that. THey'd all be dumpoffs to the fast little bitch in the sports bra, but still. Alright I'm retiring from ever trying to post anything humorous again.

What most seem to be missing here is a taunted player seeking retribution. You're risking more injuries.

Ban taunting?

Wait...

Ban injuries and then we can keep the taunting!!

If taunting is defined as something directed at a specific player, I would be in favor of nullifying touchdowns if the taunting occurred in the field of play before crossing the goal line.

Players that taunt other players rely on the fact that the taunted player's retaliation is limited by the possibility of getting penalized or getting kicked out of the game.

It is a chickensh*t move to disrespect a man in public when the taunting player knows that there is some extraordinary penalty facing the man that justifiably teaches a lesson by beating the guy up.

What Golden Tate did was cowardly. Unless you allow players to retaliate with violence when taunted, taunting aimed at a specific player while the clock is still running and the ball is live should be penalized from the spot of the foul.

I don't think high-stepping or altering your running style on a pick 6 on a certain td is taunting as long as you are not pointing the ball, or waving, at the other team's player, but fans, players and referees can tell when a player is directly taunting another player to the point of provocation.

When will it end? This isn't the ****ing pee-wee league. Goodell is such a bitch.

Don't nullify touchdowns. Make them forfeit the extra point.

The good news is that this won't take effect until at least next year.

So Chiefs can go win a super bowl now, and I will stop watching football before it's fully pussified.

There was a time that clothesline tackles and headslaps and a lot rougher play than is allowed to day was legal on the NFL field.

Do you know that no player in those times would have even thought about doing what Golden Tate did?

That would have been automatic unsportsmanlike conduct enforceable from the line of scrimmage.

Taunting somebody just because the rules protect you from retaliation is the "pussified" thing.

You should find an appropriate male role model to explain to you the facts of life.

This is some straight peewee football bullshit where everyone gets an award and it's for effort!!! They should just mold out 32 Lombardi trophies every year if this is true.

The whining and hand-wringing over Golden Tate's taunt is getting ridiculous. Not once did it cross my mind during that play that the touchdown should be revoked. The solution to taunting is simple: play better defense, then you won't be taunted. If the taunt "victim" can't be mature enough to avoid retaliating violently and costing their team, then that's their problem.
