There’s still a few non-gangstas in the NFL, but it’s a diminishing population I believe.
The problem is the cool players can’t police the jerks. It’s a function of the rules, the officiating and reviewable camera angles. If there’s only so many games and each of them are so important and tight that a bad penalty could swing it, no one can risk self policing the jerks, in my opinion. So it seems like it’s a league full of dillweed players that don’t have a problem with all the swishy self-congratulatory chest thumping after even marginally successful plays. All the NFL can do is have rules suitable for five year olds about taunting/excessive celebrations. Most fans at least seem to eat it up, at least to me. I think it’s fruity as hell, makes it unwatchable, which is a shame when you read about cool guys like this.
MLB probably has a similar jerk wad %, but there’s a reason nobody is making a choke sign to a pitcher who just gave up a walk.
