Well, it happens once or twice a game, it seems...*L*
I TOTALLY agree.
Get rid of Goodell
Get rid of the squishy female sideline gals.
Get rid of all the pink - way overboard although a good cause.
Get rid of the games in Europe. It's OUR sport, they have soccer.
Reduce number of Thursday night games, not expand.

“Section 3 Unsportsmanlike Conduct
Article 1 There shall be no unsportsmanlike conduct. This applies to any act which is contrary to the
generally understood principles of sportsmanship. Such acts specifically include, among others:
(a) Throwing a punch, or a forearm, or kicking at an opponent even though no contact is made.
(b) The use of abusive, threatening, or insulting language or gestures to opponents, teammates, officials,
or representatives of the League.
TAUNTING
(c) The use of baiting or taunting acts or words that engender ill will between teams.
(d) Individual players involved in prolonged or excessive celebrations. Players are prohibited from
engaging in any celebrations while on the ground. A celebration shall be deemed excessive or
prolonged if a player continues to celebrate after a warning from an official.
(e) Two-or-more players engage in prolonged, excessive, premeditated, or choreographed celebrations.
(f) Possession or use of foreign or extraneous object(s) that are not part of the uniform during the game
on the field or the sideline, or using the ball as a prop.”
The NFL is so weird. Supposedly the manliest action packed game, they need rules suitable for 4 year olds and players still can’t police each other.

It’s going to happen a lot more now. :(
Racist move. There will be far more penalties handed out to black players than white. The past few generations of white people have gotten out of the habit of saying it.
This will not happen. Because everyone knows who uses the words more than any one else.
Since not enough “White” guys will be penalized, this will not happen.
That would be interesting.
Will the ref have to hear it himself or can the mere accusation of a player saying THE WORD be sufficient evidence?
GO!! PACK!! GO!!
It’s been a long time since I said it. Not that I haven’t had other adjectives come to mind when they pushed the limits to my tolerance.
Wait ‘til they find out who uses the “N” word most of the time. They apparently never bothered to listen to a Hip Hop album or venture down to the locker room when the black players are ‘tossing it around’.
The lame stream media does it regularly to describe miscreant blacks and nobody finds that offensive.
Goodell is in a tough spot. Someone from the government is telling him, “Nice anti-trust exemption you’ve got there, hate to see anything bad happen to it.”
Roger Goodell has been on a tear to diminish and wussify the NFL for the past few years. He is a hard core libtard and it shows. He needs to go.
It could be interesting to listen to the officials make the call on TV: “Unsportsmanlike conduct, number 55 on the defense, he called number 62 a _____, 15 yard penalty, automatic first down!”
Good point.
I was wondering how they would call that penalty.
This is so stupid.
What the players should do if this rule passes is use the word every single play and force the refs to penalize every single down until they give up on this madness.
The QB should do an audible every down starting with that word.
What are they going to do, eject every QB until none remain?
