The No Fun League (NFL) Strikes Again
According the ESPN.com "NFL owners adopted a 15-yard penalty for excessive celebrations Wednesday after being embarrassed last season by Joe Horn's hidden cell phone trick and Terrell Owens' end-zone autograph.
The vote was 31-1, with the Raiders the lone dissenter.
The penalty will be in addition to fines previously in place for choreographed and multiplayer celebrations.
The infractions are considered unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. The yardage will be marched off from the spot at the end of the previous play or, after a score, on the ensuing kickoff. If the infraction is flagrant, the player will be ejected."
That means no more:
Ickey Shuffle
No more John Hancocking
no more cheerleading
no more Dirrty Bird
no more "Doin it to you like Billy Whiteshoes"
this will leave players like Chad Johnson saying....
Looks like the wild antics of Terrell Owens will not be present much to the chagrin of the Philly phans.
There is less joy in Phila cause TO cant celebrate.
