Yes, I'm calling you out... If you ever used the term "no fun league" you are a clueless boobonic moron who should probably stick to watching the "Real Housewives of Bumphukanywhere" and give up watching football. You just ain't man enough for it.

Im pretty sure the players coined the phrase "no fun league" and we hear current and former players use the phrase all the time. Personally I like TD celebrations. The Fun Bunch, the Ickey Shuffle, Chad Johnson, T.O. were all entertaining to me.

I get it... some have to be take out of the game for safety and all but I can't see how some of them are allowed and some aren't...

I have to agree though, a good old fashion spike is good enough for me.
I totally disagree... once he has the ball and makes a turn I can't wait to see who he is going to try and run over...

Mr. Potty Mouth, for 23 years players didn't have to wear a helmet, for 40 years football helmets didn't have face masks, then one day someone realized that was not a good idea. Then 16 years after the face mask was implemented someone decided that allowing players to grab it (except for the ball carrier) was not such a good idea. Six Years later someone decided ball carriers should be protected also.

You may consider rethinking your logic and approach.

Re: 'No Fun League' lives up to its name

I think the less the NFL uses the word "liability," the better for it.
Its like your girlfriend using the word meunstration. You know she does it.
You just dont need to think about it.

I agree the penalty on dunking is ridiculous compared to jumping in the stands. The NFL is inconsistent at best when it come to player safety and discipline, along with a slew of other issues and problems.

But I disagree with your argument that this is racially motivated per se. The NFL has consistently poo-pooed touchdown celebrations going back way further than T.O. and Ocho Cinco. A lot of modern celebrations date back to the "Fun Bunch" and so many others from late 70's and early 80's. They were mixed race groups celebrating TD's. The NFL killed them which led to the short surge in the USFL years ago.

Without race involved, the NFL has consistently poo poo'd post scoring celebrations for a long time. Personally, when I saw the Graham dunk in the Georgia Dome last year I asked myself "I can't believe they still let him and others do that."
