I am tired of seeing the ballcarrier jump up and signal a first down in an excited, animated fashion. It should be a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. No signaling for a first down. That's the officials' job.
First of all it's gotten old, that shit is soooo played. Second of all it's corny. You look like an idiot. What do you want a ******* medal? You're supposed to try to pick up a first down, that's your job! You don't see the mailman dancing around like a mental patient every time he successfully delivers someone's mail, do you? Lastly, the whole purpose of the gesture is to show up your opponent, to "stick a finger in their eye," so to speak. It's literally unsportsmanlike!
Do away with the "yay I made a first down" gesturing.
