Kmart128 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 While I was a fan of letting the players have more fun, the celebrations the players have come up with is just stupid. They are all lame and childish. Could do so much better... The only one I liked was JuJu's with the bike considering the circumstances behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to act like a bunch of idiots, let them do it on the sidelines and don't show it on TV. Have a twitter only camera and show that crap on social media only, where all the other idiots who get off on that stuff can watch it. The game needs more streamlining on TV, not more BS like these group celebrations.

Watching professional athletes acts like members of a high school drama club is sad and pathetic. Spike the ball, do some chest bumps and get off the field. I agree actually. I think the balance is way off now. Some of the stuff that drew flags before was not something that should have been penalised but equally some of the stuff that is going on now is so cringeworthy....

oldmanfan Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It's generational. My 22 year old daughter loves them. Her 61 year old dad hates them. I can't stand that crap. You want to embarrass the other team? Just hand the ball to the ref like it's no big deal to score on the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The NFL became entertainment over sport long ago. They can’t really promote big hits anymore (Jacked Up, anyone?) so the celebrations are just something to fill highlight reel space. Avert your gaze if the silly celebrations offend.

MarkAF43 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Man I'm just shy of 40 and I find a lot of them hilarious, Hide and seek, duck duck goose, classics which I laugh at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 They don't even interfere with the flow of the game. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I haven't been bothered by it, nor entertained. I think it's a reminder how young some of these guys are. It could have a negative impact on lower levels of football, I think it opens the door for show boating and I would dislike that becoming common place in HS/College games.

CommonCents Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Just now, TheTruthHurts said: May I ask what the negative impact would be? Im fine with it on the NFL level because every single guy out there is cashing a paycheck. Lower levels of sports has millions of kids who will never make a dime playing the game and I wouldn't enjoy seeing kids rub each other's face in their own success. While playing we had kids do the Desmond Howard and the touchdown would get called back. As upset as I was at the call I always remembered it as a learning experience. From what I have seen most of the NFL ones aren't directed at the other team but showboating should remain at the pro level. I assume about 20 percent of NCAA athletes are paid so they can do it once a game or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Kids sports are supposed to teach them about teamwork, dealing with success and failure, etc. The kind of NFL showboating sends the wrong message to kids, that it's about the individual vs. team. Far too prevalent in society as a whole right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
