Is the NFL too Hard on Players Celebrations?
In this twenty-four hours and age, the NFL is cracking down on jubilations like never before. Whether you love them or hatred them, participants celebrating is just a portion of the game and have always been that way. Sure, we all love the posh Barry-Sanders-toss-the-ball-to-the-ref kind of thing, but sometimes watching a good ol' Terrell Jesse Owens or Chad Samuel Johnson doing their brainsick jokes is great amusement and can do football game gratifying to watch.
With the NFL's avaricious tentacles stretching every cranny of American society to sucking in more than than and more insouciant fans, you'd believe the NFL would desire to heighten amusement value, rather than cut down it. But alas, referees are now inclined to throw flags for virtually any celebration, especially one done with teammates. Just the other twenty-four hours T.O. was flagged for doing a jubilation where he pretended to begin a race in the Olympics, no uncertainty imitating popular path star Usain Bolt. He was subsequently fined 15 paces for "unsportsmanlike conduct". I inquire you, what is so "unsportsmanlike" about that? It's not like he's taunting the other team, which he did (ironically against Dallas when he was with San Francisco) by standing on the Dallas star at midfield and spreading his weaponry wide.
In my opinion, that is the material that demands to acquire flagged, not the jubilations that are made for wit and to acquire people excited. I state you this, back when Chad Samuel Johnson was pulling all kinds of things out of his bag of tricks, people honestly looked forward to watching Bengals games just to see what he would make next. It's things like that which do the game merriment for everyone, including those who aren't as dice difficult of fans as the remainder of us.
