stupid TD celebrations!! I know people want to see them, and that's a shame. Clinton Portis doing Chad Johnson's CPR routine?? Football is just not football anymore, it's more a circus then anything else. Why can't they just score and move on? And by the way, not to make this a black or white issue, but why are all the TD celebrations done by black players?

Well the League is probably around 75-80 percent African American. And at the WR position, I bet that number jumps to about 90-95%

I love the celebrations. Its entertainment, not some sacred ritual. Let them have some fun and be showmans.

Nope, it doesn't bother me, but I forgot in this day and age, we can't make an observation on certain sensitive issues.

Unfortunately you're right. It has become entertainment. I remember when it was a game called Pro Football, the player would score and either throw the ball to the ground or give it up to the ref. The attention was on the game, not the celebrations. I guess the younger generation likes the entertainment game not a football game.

Was that the guy who did a backflip into the endzone from the one yard line?

Seems to me like he's upset that there isn't that many white running backs or wide receivers in the game. I remember Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, and Steve Young doing there little dance when they scored on a scramble. Did it bother you back then? Or is this a black/white issue to you? I really don't see the reason why you had to play the race card.

Hmm! Apparently you're not reading or you're skipping post #8. Doing a "little dance" is way different then trying to pump life into a football, or hump a goalpost, or taking out a Sharpie, or ..........

" I really don't see the reason why you had to play the race card "

I don't really see how these are much more distracting or offensive than doing a dance in the end zone, but to each his own...

I do wonder if they would be as controversial without ESPN devoting hours a day on TV and Radio to the exercise of dissecting a touchdown celebration and analyzing whether it was appropriate or not.

ESPN is just plain getting on my nerves of late. Who gives a crap about the celebration??? I care about the TD. If some guy wants to do a backflip or sign the damn ball, who cares? The 6 points are the real concern.

It's really not just ESPN... or even sports.

ESPN is just one example of 24-hour News Programming without 24 hours worth of news.

Years ago, my sister-in-law began calling CNN "Continuous Negative News." That pretty much sums up all of those kinds of channels. Regardless of topic. It's negative or, quite simply, not news-worthy.

Dude, just let it go! you're not in a postion to make a change to the rules so why even bother with this type of dumb ass thread? However, I do believe I did make my point, but, In case you don't know....... All this TD celebration antics started with "Billy white shoes Johnson" back in the day, and took off from there. The NFL banned the celebrations for a season and even gave out 15 yard penalties for the extra shake. The players, coaches and fans backlashed against it and that's why it is what it is today. Back in the day, the players were calling the N.F.L. the (No Fun League) and even theaten to boycott games. There was even talk of taking their services to Canada and even a new league if the NFL didn't change that rule. Can you imagine America's best players playing in the CFL because of something as stupid as a schimmy or shake after a score? The rules committee listened and the TD celebrations were allowed the following year. There you go!
