I want to go on record (without reading all the posts) and state that I do not understand what the big deal about taunting is. As long as someone is not interfering with play, not getting in an opposing player's face, not doing something vulgar...What's the problem?!

This is football. A team of guys practice practically year-round. They put their health on the line. They give their all - and they are not allowed to celebrate a touchdown?! Really? Such snowflakes we've all become.

The only people who should care if a player celebrates before he crosses the goal line, is a coach or a fan who is afraid that he might drop the ball.

Thank you. Glad I'm not the only one. Rules are supposed to maintain fairness and safety, not keep people from getting their feelings hurt.

Celebrating and taunting are two different things, even though they are both called unsportsman like penalties. A lot of us that are against taunting a beaten player are not against celebrating. I really don't care if guys get excited and do whatever celebration they want, if they want to make an ass out of themself, that's fine with me.

Meecheegan came to play today...well the ones that actually...umm..came to play. It would have been more impressive if they had shown up like this to play tOSU instead of playing like a bunch of pansies.

Absolutely, all of this. All sports are entertainment, just like movies or music. I have no problem with celebrations or anything else as long as they don’t interfere with your ability to do your job on the field.

The number one objective is to win the competition. The number two objective should be to entertain the crowd while winning. Why else would I attend the games if it wasn’t for entertainment? People may scoff at the Miami team antics, but what team from that era does everyone still talk about? They won and they were entertaining.

Weren’t a fan of the Mutombo finger wag I take it? Taunting is part of sports. Don’t want to be taunted? Don’t suck.
