The “nose wipe’ celebration is now a 15 yard penalty for being a “violent gesture”

No Fun League
Very dumb rule but also a dumber celebration. No Fun League is stupid but I’m kinda glad players will stop doing that stupid gesture every 3 plays
thank god. I remember Amon Ra did this in a game and it inspired my 7 year old daughter to join a gang and start dealing.
No slime league
We’ve seen some confusion about refs mixing up the, uh, “nose wipe” and throat slash. I guess they probably viewed this as the easiest route.
So obviously I have no idea what the “nose wipe” gesture means.
They said nothing about the ass wipe.
I personally don’t believe any celebration should be illegal, including this
But this is gang symbology, it wouldn’t be much different than throwing up a set
I have no problem with it it’s just a celebration not as bad as some other ones, I feel like this should only be a thing for very sexual celebrations and other celebrations that are just obviously inappropriate but this ain’t one, but idk anything forgive me
Don’t worry, they’ll still allow players to assault women as long as they are suspended for four games or traded, but only after a long investigation.
Never been sure what this gesture is even meant to signify
Wack ass nfl smh soft
I mean why “c’mon”? It’s disorienting watching these players do it every first down and it is a reference to violence. Happy the shit is gone.
I honestly thought they were sniffing their finger.
Good
These refs would’ve penalized the Undertaker in 1998 after he threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, who plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
Is that the celebration? And if it’s not, what even is that one supposed to signify?
So I’m a white 37 year old man. So, obviously I knew what the nose wipe is and mean and definitely didn’t google it, because I got that rizz with no hat. Anyways, I seriously thought they were shushing the crowd or the other team. FR FR, on god cap!
What is a nose wipe celebration.
This is legal in football
But American football hates fun ig
Love this from a sport predicated on legalized violence
In a game where men are violently throwing themselves at each other, risking bodily injury and irreversible head trauma on every play, I’m so glad I will never have to worry about seeing something so violent as a…er… ‘nose wipe.’
At least we still have the gritty
Is there is way fans can have a say in any of this?
What if it’s a cold weather game and noses are runny? It’ll be flag after flag, or just snotty noses everywhere. Gross.
Oh no, my one year old granddaughter has had a runny nose for 8 months…..I went through half a box of tissues today alone.
Def not a violent gesture, but it was always about what fingering? This literally a gesture I never understood or found cool or interesting. I was like are they doing 13 year olds saying smell my finger? Are they saying ur a pussy? Are they saying yeah I just fingered that guy and I’m smelling it now yeah I like that? I honestly have never known
Jameson Williams will have at least 1 celebration this year retired by the committee shortly after #savemeaspot
Soft ass league.
These mfs really are the thought police
Amazing they’ll ban the nose wipe but not the guys acting like they’re putting ski masks on and kicking in doors.
But the nose wipe has been in for a few years now. Out with the old in with the new
