So, what you're saying is . . . today's young people are turning into pussies.
And yes, I said in other threads that a bunch of middle aged white guys (and, yes, white guys are more likely to have a stick up their butt) made the rule to feel good about themselves. Nevertheless, the idea that points are essentially taken off of the board for that "infraction" cannot be defended.
I'm not defending it. I'm saying that if I were a paid official in the game, and it had been a team like OU or USC, I would have made that call (because we all know I wouldn't have made that call against LSU). It's a subjective call, excessive celebration almost always is. You're a lawyer, you, of all people, should know his hand waving can be construed as taunting before the end zone.
When they made that call, my heart sunk to my shoes... I actually thought they were going to replay 4th down, because I didn't know the rule. But, it's the rule.

Most calls are subjective in football.
If they called all of the other rules for as marginal a shite as they called that for "taunting", there would be 50 holding calls per game and damned near half the incomplete passes ever thrown would end with pass interference calls.

I went back and look at the run three times. I have read the quoted sections of the rule. He threw his arms up for maybe two seconds. It was a horrible, horrible call. I'll bet you a thousand dollars you'll never see a call like that again.
