Default Why I stopped watching the NFL (as of today)
Aside from having too much shit to do to sit down and watch 3-6 hours of TV on a Sunday, I can't take the bullshit calls and hypocrisy anymore. The celebration penalty against Green Bay for going to the knees in the end zone and not praying while he did it was bad enough....but then to put that celebration in a commercial about how great the NFL is shortly afterward? Get the fuck out of here...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. I thought the guy praying would get a flag based on the first one. But nooooo, that might offend someone.

No the rule specifically states you can go to your knee if you're praying, but not in celebration alone.

Botched calls happen, its all part of it. I just hate the rules and bullshit.

I like to see a guy flip the ball to the official and head to the sideline. You know, like he's been there before.

I like to see a guy get totally crazy and start humping the goal post.

I've been in pussy before too, but I still celebrate every time I get the chance.

I like celebrations, keeping people from getting their feelings hurt is fucking retarded. I understand the need to keep them somewhat grounded though. Terrell Owens and the sharpie/cellphone is taking it too far. Doing some funny dance or diving/taking a knee should be fine.
