Taunting = bullying .....whatever!

Pretty sure this isn't player driven. Just more No Fun League stuff.

These days....sticks and stones may break your bones but words put you in therapy and suicidal on social media. It all started when they disallowed yelling "hey batter, hey batter, SWING!" in youth baseball. Heaven forbid little Johnnie toughen his azz up.

On a side note a players control "celebrating" shows me the type of discipline they have. And while it isn't a direct correlation to talent I think it often illustrates is a player is a "me" guy or a "we" guy. Pryor seemed like a "me" guy.

well when players started doing the 'slit you throat' sign i think that's when it crossed the line. talking is talking but getting into someone's face or standing above them when you're knocked out deserves a 15yder all day long.

Throat slit should 100% be allowed.

But when that turns to celebrating the failure of the opponent AND that celebration is aimed at the opponent, then flag it.

Steve Smith would have never seen the field..to soon?

You can't point at anyone after a turnover? I'm pointing at the tv at the opposition so...

Sure... if you're a teammate of the fumble causer, then you can point at him. And if you caused the fumble you can point back at the teammate pointing at you.

Point is the league is relaxing its No-Fun-League, anti-celebration move and I applaud that.

I also applaud any celebration of a player's successful play, including by that player. Don't step on joy!

But when that turns to celebrating the failure of the opponent AND that celebration is aimed at the opponent, then flag it.

Also overly orchestrated team/unit celebrations...

What situation comes to you that granted this penalty?

Pryor's "ball toss"... of course.

But that's a problem with application of the rule at most...

Let me know what I won...

Then penalize THAT. Not pointing at shit.

I agree that the rules are too stupid right now.

It's because too many people (workers, etc.) are doing something stupid which requires a stupid rule be put in place.

It's fine... trash talk got out of control starting in the 90's and then things accelerated from there.

Current rule simply seeks to nip potentially escalating situations in the bud.

I don't mind the penalties for "taunting"....it is the ones for "celebrating" that irk me. No taunting involved, just joyousness.

Except to Antonio Brown and his twerking. No human being should be subjected to that. 😆
