quote:Ehh, I'm a big fan of eliminating the showboating "look at me" behaviour as well, but I'm not sure this falls in the same category. It's not really a "give me attention" kind of move like an endzone dance or waving for the crowd after a tackle. And it really isn't taunting unless you somehow target a specific opposing player with it. I see it as an emotional celebration of an achievement, like players raising their hands in the touchdown signal when a touchdown is scored. The simple first down signal is subdued enough to fall short of unsportsmanlike, imo. I like it.
I think this is unsportsmanlike and another aspect of the look at me generation. It should be flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct just as dancing in the endzone or spiking the ball. Just another example of taunting. Act like you made a first down before.
Now, if you throw in a little dancing or grandstanding with it, then I think you've crossed the line.
