Pretty sure they penalize touchdown celebrations because a lot of them were quite openly unsportsmanlike, taunting the opposing team.

I am though.

One is celebrating a minor victory. The other is disrespecting something with significant symbolic value to a great many people.

This has nothing to do with innocent lives being lost. This is about people being hateful to call attention to themselves and it all began when one player needed a distraction from his lackluster season.

They did. You only get penalized for offensive and sexually suggestive celebrations now.

Another reason they were cracking down on TD celebrations is because they disrupted the flow of the game.

A Country where 2/3 people live paycheck to paycheck, where 5 men have more than half the money as the bottom half. Where cops kill people and get to keep their job. Where people have to use go fund me for medical bills.

He didn't give up, he's working to improve his country and he's bringing attention to the issues through sports so that others can do so too

He's doing more than those two guys who'd run away to another country at the first sign of trouble

Given what the anthem supposedly stands for (America's stated values), not allowing the protest of it would be hypocrisy of the highest order

Of course, not applying the values the country is supposed to be built on when black people are involved isn't exactly new

never knew touchdown celebration restriction was a thing...

can't imagine not being able to jump after scoring an important goal when everybody has to get back into position anyways.

then again it makes sense if prolonged/excessive celebration cuts into commercial time in an already dragged out event.

xd what a joke.

Everybody should stand and salute the flag 5 times a day while facing east towards Washington. Loudspeakers installed throughout cities and towns that will play the anthem 5 times a day.
