No.. but.

It may even be proper English, not sure. It just sounds annoying. A picture of Brooking pops into my head each time a forum poster says it.

Example:

You can't tackle like that in the NFL.
You can't tackle like that as a pro football player.
You can't tackle like that in this league.

It sounds like something a player would say.

It's not technically a topic of football. The topic is things that irritate you and as part of that I posted some things that are irritating that are said on the forum.

Fail!

Does correct English typically bother you, or just in this instance?
