I kind of like the anti-taunting rule, but this is crazy - check out the video in the link. In Massachusetts the High School football State Championship is known as the Super Bowl - my high school has won it's share. http://www.nesn.com/2011/12/cathedral-high-school-loses-super-bowl-on-very-questionable-penalty-call-for-celebration-taunting.html
Mayor Menino doesn't like it http://www.nesn.com/2011/12/boston-mayor-thomas-menino-blasts-miaa-as-frustrated-athletes-for-celebration-rule-that-cost-team-su.html |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Too strict of a rule, perhaps, but he should've at least waited until he crossed the goal line where it might have been overlooked. Instead he does it at the 25-yard line. For a second, I thought he might've been celebrating a little too early, like this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UD0QtUeXbI |

Political correctness has consequences, even in liberal-land. |
|
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

Nothing makes me sicker than people with authority righteously wielding it in ways they're too simple to realize are horrible. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

I'm lost on this one. What great social message was conveyed that will make these young people "better" by this decision?? Nuts. (I do confess that for the NFL, I cringe whenever a touchdown is made, and the guy acts like an idiot with dancing or prancing, something obviously rehearsed in front of a mirror) |

Certainly seems a little over the top to call a penalty on that, but I do agree the celebrating nonsense needs to stop, and I guess they feel it has to start at this level. He must have known he shouldn't do that, so I don't have a lot of sympathy. You play a game, you play by the rules. |

That sport is a complete waste of time, and that God doesn't give a toss about it either. If society would just remember that, I think we'd all be a bit better off. |

I'd recommend a 5-second rule on celebrating. I like to see people enjoy the moment and celebrate, as long as it is not a big drawn out production. I also enjoy taunting, chipping, barking, mouthing off. Makes sports great. |
