NFL Considering Negating Touchdowns If Player Taunts

[distinguishedNOW]

They do this in college already....it's no big deal.



Granted this was this weakest taunt I ever seen but players will adjust. It's not too much to ask a player to celebrate AFTER actually scoring a touchdown imo.

Who you kidding, of course it's too much.

It never bothers me unless it's happening against my team, but that Golden Tate taunt kinda rubbed me the wrong way for whatever reason. I wanted so bad for him to get pushed out at the 1 yard line or for the TD to be called back.

That would have been called back in college right? Don't they take away TD's for taunting and diving into the endzone and shyt?

I'm a Giants fan:

Trust, I felt some type of way watching him run down the endzone line instead of just running in. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna get mad at dude for showing off; he earned that. When dudes try to show off and fukk up they deserve to have the media shyt on them. I remember DeSean dropped the ball at the 1 yd line, I was

And I really don't care about what they do in college. Show of hands: how many of y'all would be cool with adopting automatic ejections for hits on defenseless players above the shoulders? They already do it in college right?

Wait, so it's celebrating as well, not just taunting that's the problem?

I'll ask again yall about to stop watchin football because players will be penalized for taunting?

Naw? Yeah ain't think so.

 

[Leasy]

Keep these wild negroes in line. Making fun of my field slave I am not having it.

they have this dumb rule in college, i remember brad wing got his td called back for doing it





i say let it happen, if its offensive let the players handle it , remember when terrell owens did that thing on the dallas star and george teague leveled him?:

players take care of players

Obviously nobody is gonna stop watching. I'll ask you a question. Let's say the Panthers are down 6 with a minute to go, week 17, and a win gets them the wild card. Cam breaks a 30 yard run for a touchdown but it gets called back because he high stepped it into the endzone or held the ball above his head starting at the 5. You'll merely be angry at Cam right? He should've adjusted to this clearly inconsequential rule, right?

What exactly does this have to do with anything? We can't voice opinions on dumb rules just cuz it doesn't have a big enough impact on the game to make us stop watching?

And since we're re-asking questions: is it celebrating that's the problem or just the taunting?

I'm just happy that I got to watch the NFL in the 80s and 90s before all the p*ssy footing came along. Goodell is a piece of shyt.

Like on some NHL shyt? I firmly agree, btw.

It's clear the NFL gives no fukks and it's really only a matter of time before they completely alienate everyone with a brain.

Like my man @mastermind said who exactly has a problem with this? Who does this hurt? Talking shyt and taunting is a part of sport. I am pretty sure that Golden Tate shyt didn't just come out of nowhere. I am willing to bet that he and that DB he was waiving at were probably going at it and when Golden got the better of him he let him know about it. That's competition. That's fun. There is nothing wrong with that. How far is this shyt gonna go? Are they gonna penalize trash talk too? I mean seriously who's radar is this on?
