re: So why is taunting considered so bad in CFB and the NFL?

No one will answer the question of "What is the point - what is the purpose?"

To enjoy that moment of the game. To stay pumped up. To have fun. Whether you agree or not, fun is part of the game, or should be, at the collegiate or professional level.

For the record, I am focusing specifically on that one play by Wing. No "throat slash" moves, no pointing or mouthing off. Just threw out his arms in celebration and looked at the other team while in the field of play. If that move truly constituted "taunting" to you in any meaningful sense of the word, we have an epidemic of think skin around here.

I thought the point was to score more points than the other team and win the game. If that's not fun enough for you then you have a personal problem of insecurity or narcissism that needs to be remedied.

Sure. After every score, calmly hand the ball to the official, walk stoically back to the bench (don't look up or sideways . . . could be misintepreted) and give a polite handshake to you teammates. Sit down and drink your Gatorade.
