Footie players who take their shirts off after scoring

[AndrewT]

So they made the rule that taking of your shirt when you score stirs up violence in the crowd?

from what ive watched of NFL they jump like 15 feet up into the rafters to celebrate with the crowd after a TD and i dont think that's penalised but maybe NFL fans have a different mentality to Brittish football supporters?

A little while ago (may even have been at the NFL game at Wembley) one team was penalised because their player was guilty of 'excessive celebration' when he scored a touchdown.

Is this done as a rule then in the NFL?

You're not allowed to do various things when you score a touchdown, playing the bongos is one of them.

Chris Johnson from Tennessee played the bongos after scoring a touchdown the other week.
In addition to the 15 yard penalty after kickoff, he got fined like £40,000 or something.

I'm assuming if he'd picked up a handy guitar and jammed out stairway to heavn for two hours it wouldve been acceptable?

I must say shirt removing celebration's are  not all bad but one that stick's out to me for being a twat and doing it has to be Kieran Richardson , i seem to recall a couple of seasons ago he scored a late goal on the last day of the season i think for Man U to put them like  3-0 or something and the Muppet decides it was worth whipping the jersey off,  AND he also did it this season after scoring a goal in the first 15 Min's of a match a bit dumb to be booked so early no ?

On the other hand it's a stupid rule really , perfectly good non-egotistical celeb's like John Arne Riise' slide with jersey pulled over head had to be stopped , never to be seen again which really is a shame, that's prob why he was so crap the last couple of season's and scored fck all, he knew he wouldn't be able to celebrate accordingly

Unquestionably it's a stupid rule, but they all know it and it could really cost their clubs especially in Europe.
