What are your views on unsportsmanlike conduct?

Question

I believe that if a player scores a touchdown they should be allowed to celebrate as long as it doesn't slow down the game too much. I mean if the other team sucks enough to let them score, the refs shouldn't be worried about their feelings. This isn't knitting or band or something. If you get your feelings hurt that easily then you shouldn't play sports.

Answer 1

yea, but there is more to unsportsmanlike conduct then celebrateing like last year i got a unsportsmanlike conduct flag cause the ref said i kicked the guy

Answer 2

Celebrating with your team because you are happy is cool.

Performing some stupid choreographed skit that you and some uneducated idoits think is funny is a waste of time.

Throw the flag, take away the score, fine them and toss them from the game.

Enough low IQ. c**p to deal with, keep it out of football, save it for Dancing with the Stars.

Answer 3

I've always thought it was stupid to flag a guy for being excited or enthusiastic about scoring a touchdown.  As long as you aren't doing anything vulgar or obscene, let it go!  Let the guy have his moment!  Keep the stupid flag in your pocket.

Answer 4

Barry Sanders said "My dad always taught me not to do any kind of end zone dance, if I scored, I should act like I've been there before"

Kudos

Answer 5

I think it is more of reason to keep the NFL as a "proffesional" organization.  They do not want the image that is portrayed in other sporting venues such as WWE, WWF, or WWW. If you let players cross that line, it can get really carried away.  Some players already try using props.  Where will it go next.  I say keep it proffesional like it has always been.  It is suppose to be a respectible sport with good sportsmanship.  Not a circus.

Thumbs up to those who agree.

Answer 6
