"players are prohibited from engaging in any celebrations while on the ground." What the refs did wasn't wrong. They have to interpret a stupid rule that shouldn't even be in existence. |

I agree that the rule is stupid. What if Charles had celebrated when he got the 3rd TD and was on the ground as he entered the endzone? He had a leg cramp so we never found out if he would have gotten up first or not, but since he does that brushing off dust or whatever it is, he probably would have gotten up first. Who cares if it is on the ground or standing up, aside from that tool Goodell?

It's okay. Roger Goodell will fine Abdullah and then claim that he never saw the footage. Then he'll visit a muslim mosque and claim that he fixed everything. He will then hand out 2 game suspensions for players who don't acknowledge the muslim faith in their TD celebrations. It's cool. Goodell's got this.

I'll take 'what are two instances of sliding prior to the rule change' for $500 Alex.

Brandon Marshall's TD celebration above was after the 2013 rule change. It was pretty much a "praise Jesus" type celebration. It didn't get flagged. |

Their target audience is those among us whose overriding thought is 'Football, that's like Fox News, or country music or something, right?'

But the NFL needs to deal with this really delicately. Goodell needs to apologize and say that the flag was thrown in error. It was the wrong call since the NFL has allowed celebrations of religious expression. It looks terrible on the league if they claim that's only allowed for one religion. But they won't because Goodell will never admit he's wrong and he'll have to renege on his dumb idea that enforcing touchdown celebrations is a critical NFL initiative. So he'll make up some hocus pocus about sliding. |

I just dream of a day when we can go back to celebrating touchdowns this way. |

Only the imaginary PC leftists in your head are arguing as much.

Case closed. It shouldn't be a religion issue. But it will be if the NFL doesn't say something about it. |
