More from the NFL committee... - Dallas Cowboys Forum

These are celebration acts that are now deemed "innapropriate" by the NFL:

Rule 9-2-1-a-1-a
Unsportsmanlike acts.

--Imitating a slash of the throat;
--Resembling the firing of a weapon;
--Bowing at the waist;
--Punching one’s own chest excessively;
--Crossing one’s arms in front of the chest;
--Placing one’s hand by the ear as if to indicate that the player cannot hear the spectators;
--Diving into the end zone when unchallenged by an opponent;
--Entering the end zone with an unnatural stride (e.g., high stepping);
--Going significantly beyond the end line to interact with spectators;
--Standing over a prone player in a taunting manner;
--Attempting to make the ball spin as it were a top;
--Performing a choreographed act with a teammate(s) (e.g., pretending to take a photo, falling down in unison); and
--Entering the field of play by coaches or substitutes in protest of officials’ calls.”

Some of these are ridiculous...no High stepping? No ball spinning? Bowing?

Wow...

Got to say, I am all for sportsmanship, but some of that is going to far. These are adults..

I hope for your sake, this is a real post. It seems extremely fake to me, but I will leave it since you said it was no joke.

Give it 10, maybe 15 years. I think we will see a lot of these rules dissappear when the younger people start to get positions on the NFL committee. They seem to realize that the No Fun League is, No Fun.

With that said, these rules stink...horribly

This can't be real..No offense but where is the source?
