“Yo Momma” should at least be worth 5 yards?

I wish somebody could find out who the little ‘That’s Racist’ guy is, how old he is now, and direct him to someone in the legal profession who would be willing to file suit on his behalf for, geez, I’m not sure what - there must be some way for the layer to get rich on this kid.

I’m just sayin...

Rooney, and all of the black players on the Steelers know that he's with 'em and he loves 'em. He supported Obama, he supports them, and the Steelers are like a family.

So Rooney supports Obama because he's black. Well now. Isn't that special. He's as racist as all the other people who do the same thing.

A good ventriloquist on your team could get you some serious yardage.

I have said this before and I’ll say it again.

Roger Goodell must be fired from his position as NFL Commissioner. No ands, ifs or buts about it. This individual is single-handedly ruining the NFL and must not be allowed to continue.

There will be a 5 yard “Running into the “N” Word penalty and a 15 yard “Roughing the “N” Word penalty.

So how does the lead official call this over the speakers? “15 yard penalty #76, using politically incorrect speech.”

they can’t stop them using it.

they can fine them for doing so.

employers can set workplace standards and codes of conduct during work hours and in the workplace.

Isn’t “taunting” already a penalty?

For that penalty they will throw a black flag with Baraq Obama’s face embossed on it.

This rule won’t survive Week One. There will be a chorus from both sides of the ball. Hilarity ensues. Mike Carey might even join in and throw the flag on himself.

There is already a rule against this...It’s called “unsportsmanlike conduct”...How many times after a play have you seen a player get in another player’s face and spout off something and the ref throws a flag and calls, “Personal foul!!! Unsportsmanlike conduct!!!”

It happens all the time....

No reason to call it anything else...

It doesn’t happen all that often, imho. Most penalties are not due to language, but to actions, which is as it should be. This new penalty will slow down the game.

If they want to go this far and farther, then how about asking permission to hit someone???

In life, if you hit someone without permission, it’s assault and battery....Maybe the NFL needs to enact a rule saying the defensive player should ask permission before making a tackle and the offensive player must ask permission before enacting a block....

That would be just about as asinine as this proposal...*LOL*
