I think its quite pathetic and embarrassing to watch when this stuff happens. The phrase "its the taking part that counts" means nothing to these men. They are so desperate to win that they end up acting like a bunch of kids. You can add that to one of the many reasons why I don't watch football.
I do think Football is beautiful, American footballOriginally Posted by Jiro
Oh and to clarify; I enjoy your NFL and I'm not here to say it's, but I swear you are just dicks if you think football is not a beautiful sport.
Which is more handball than football, really.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
American football has some bad naming. It's called Football, when you carry the ball. And a touchdown is scored without the ball actually being touched down on the floor...
You ever actually see them score? The ball touches the ground quite often after they score. Endzone dances.
Basically, American Football is a ripoff of Rugby Football which itself originated in a "soccer" football style of game, although it was certainly very different from what we see in "soccer" football today. Touchdown? In rugby, you have to put the ball down (in a controlled way, in the hand). Football? In "soccer", you have to use your feet rather than your hands. All of these words come from the games they orginated from.

I agree with BoB, they actually try in rugby
This is how we do football in my hometown.

ehhhh weren't they banned?You ever actually see them score? The ball touches the ground quite often after they score. Endzone dances.
Not banned, you just get a penalty flag for excessive celebration. Which is dumb, but Goodell is an idiot.
Nah, you just can't go wild with it, otherwise it's "unsportsmanlike conduct".
Soooooo, how 'bout that WRC? Or the American Le Mans series? Wrong thread?
Urgh, just like in football over here. You're not allowed to celebrate with the crowd or take your shirt off. Personally, I wouldn't mind if opposition players did it. Some people take the entertainment out of sport for softies.Nah, you just can't go wild with it, otherwise it's "unsportsmanlike conduct".

Yeah there no props or group celebrations anymore. But some guys were going crazy like having
They were getting a bit silly though. Someone had to reign it in. Don't think it's fair that Green Bay are still allowed to do the Lambeau Leap though if anyone fronm any other team tried it there'd be a yellow hankerchief.
