I guess new rules from the NFL came out in May or something but I just recently heard about them. No overly sexual or violent depictions are allowed. Apparently that includes the throat cutting and even the bow and arrow pose. While I'm not a huge fan of the growing trend of little moves after every tackle or first down, clamping down on something like a bow and arrow pose seems like we're headed off in the wrong direction.

 

They brought back end zone celebrations though. Just nothing sexual.

 

To most Americans, kneeling during the Anthem is more offensive than any of that but........

 

 

I cannot stand the NFL, or the players, due to things like that ^^^^



Whatever happened to playing in a sportsman-like manner? Teaching humility in sports? Those days are gone I suppose. To think this doesn't get passed down to our youth is just being ignorant. They are trying to balance this with their ratings, all the while sacrificing how sports should be taught/played. They should be examples to follow. Our youth ARE watching these so-called adults (loosely) act like immature 3rd world idiots. It doesn't need to be threatening, or sexual to be immature in my book. Dancing, laughing, pointing, pushing, taunting, etc. it's all on the same level in my opinion of being unsportsmanlike. If you have any respect for the sport you're playing, then RESPECT it! You're a professional, getting paid millions, yet act like spoiled little kids that didn't have a dad knock them out for behaving like that. Truth is, they probably didn't, but that's no excuse.
