Celebration Crackdowns

[Seahawker]

Eagles LB Jalyx Hunt was fined $5700 for simulating shooting a bow & arrow after sacking Mahomes in the Super Bowl.
This celebration has been used in years past, but with new rule changes the league office has deemed this violent gesture.
I guess I can see banning a throat slash or gun shots but it seems like it's getting ridiculous. No Fun League.
BTW, the Chiefs helmet logo is an arrowhead.

Throat slashing and simulated gun shots I get. Bow and arrow into the air? Dumb.

 

[Seahawks Guy]

Gun shots and throat slashes should be allowed

It's ok to be wrong. Throat slashing and acting like you're shooting a gun? Lame

 

[SocialParasite]

It's "lame" if you do the gun/throat slash gesture directly at someone, but what's the harm in doing it in the air?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Fair enough. How'd the throat slash work out for REEK Woolen? Got owned 2 plays later.

 

[Seahawks Guy]

Wrong ^

Yup, Soulfish was wrong for saying I was wrong

Too easy.......

Illegal Seahawking

For the record, I couldn't give two sh*** how much they celebrate.

I'm ok with it so long as not directed at anyone. They need consistency though. You can't even dunk over the goal post without it being an unsportsmanlike flag. That baffles me.

If this is truly to 'protect impressionable kids' - that's a complete laugh!

The shit that they watch on their phones all day would probably make your hair curl. If you had hair, which I don't have much of

I don't really care one way or another, but one thing that does irritate me is to see players celebrating a first down when they're behind by 3TD's in the 4th quarter.

Why is it lame?

 

[Seahawks Guy]

I grew up seeing guns in family TV shows, cartoons, and movies, we all handled it fine. Now we have smoking listed as adult content in the Motion Picture Association ratings.

I was trolling, never mind.
