Primadonna behavior is -- especially repulsive in sports.

Glad to hear it!

Could've been more however.

"Pro Sports" does not get any of my money, in any way and damn little of my attention.

If these displays keep up, people might start thinking that football is just a form of entertainment. Can't have that.

Why does the NFL have this rule anyway? I'm not a huge football fan and don't keep up with the game generally, so I know I am out of touch, but how does celebrating a touchdown in the end zone equal unsportsmanlike conduct?

The next violator should be fined 10 times that, and immediately be thrown out of that game.

I'd rather they would crack down on Tagliabue who doesn't have all of his marbles and has issued orders straight from the Twilight Zone.

Horn himself said he'd probably be fined 10 or 15 thousand dollars for doing it, but he did it anyway. I guess 30 thousand was out of his price range so now he's all upset.

I thought that cell phone call was one of the classier endzone antics in a long long time.

They worry so much about the antics on the field while coddling the crimes they commit off the field.

my coach used to say "when you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before." and we did. and we won without showing up other people like thugs.

It would be much appreciated, by me for one, if we could see a serious game of any group sport without these jackass morons showing their butts and their level of maturity after a successful play or a good performance on a particular effort.

This jerk is paid big money each year to play a game. The NFL is in business. If Horn's activities increase market share. . . then super!

Let's say Horn's contract pays him $10M per year. Given his fine (I'll bet his team and/or agent paid it for him) of $30K, let's do a little simple math.

This would be analogus to a person with $10 in their pocket being fined $.03!!

Horn is an ass...as are most of the supposed "super stars" of football. It's a waste of time to watch.

Find something better to do with your time and money and let these idiots wind up with no jobs.
