Why is the NFL so against players having fun?

[Flash Thunderton]

How the hell do they go from Joe Namath wearing a fur coat on the sidelines, to a Deion Sanders high step... To not letting players do shyt or show really any sign of individualism?


I mean, what the hell isn't a fine of penalty?

In fact, I don't think it's ever been as hard on this shyt as they are now.

Think about the majority audience of the NFL..

The majority of the audience doesn't care and rather likes the extra shyt...its the richest and most powerful members (stuffy, old, uppity white men) that take issue with the fun.

The majority of fans like that extra shyt.

Unless i'm wrong, the majority of NBA fans are too right?

It's not that

Personally i feel like someone should be able to celebrate. But at the same time there has to be a limit. You can dance, jump into the crowd or whatever. But it's human nature for people (players) to keep pushing the envelope. So you have to draw the line somewhere.

can't find the numbers for the nfl for this year right now but

"The NBA has the youngest audience, with 45 percent of its viewers under 35. It also has the highest share of black viewers, at 45 percent—three times higher than the NFL or NCAA basketball."

The NFL has a predominately white audience above the age of 45 with its female audience growing rapidly

cuz outside of a few players, the NFL promotes it's brand and the teams over individual stars.

pretty much the opposite of the NBA.

I disagree. At my job I work with nothing but white folks. Age 30-45 for the most part and they get legit heated at dudes celebrating in sports and I've heard numerous rants about it. Not saying they represent every white male around that age but it really blew my mind how pissed off they would get about it. Even when I played ball with some of them and doing friendly trash talking they were offended.
