High step into end zone = Unsportsmanlike?

Gimme a break!

Yeah that was ridiculous. These kids cannot have any fun at all.

Got to get them ready for the
No
Fun
League.

Zebra's have to realize it's a God Damn game and let these kids have some fun. Same thing goes for the pros!

i think it should be something incredibly blatant to draw a flag. these are grown ups, not a bunch of little leaguers. of course you'd be excited if you had a big play, or scored. bunch of candy asses....
it's ridiculous.

what happen to the days of running the ball into the end zone, laying the ball down, dropping the ball or even handing it to the offical? high fiving your team-mates and heading to the sideline.
just like a sack or big hit, get up and dance or strut around. you did you job on that play get up and do it agan!
it gets tougher each year for me to watch this crap.

i don't mind a bit of endzone celebrating. a BIT.
what gets on mine nerves are the celebrations after every supposed big play by defensivemen who have no business trying to dance or strut around, pounding on their chests. i wish they wouldn't have the cameraman follow them, they look silly!

but yeah, act like you've been there. by the same token, don't call unsportsmanlike for menial stuff. they're supposed to be happy they score. on the other hand, don't act like it was some kind of miraculous happening that requires 30 seconds of gyrations to appease some touchdown god.

You mean, what ever happened to Barry Sanders? I miss him and his non-celebrations.

I would much rather see flags thrown on defenders that make a scene after a meaningless tackle than guys that are celebrating a touchdown.
