i hate the little celebrations in the endzone when someone gets an interception....practically the whole defense runs en mass and poses for the camera...
(might have been ok when there was no audience) but now it looks stupid....

The NFL is for show as with anything in this world and it is only going to get worse. Follow the money.

Not the NFL but Steph Curry comes to mind

I've never understood why people care what others do?

This is so cringy. I’d rather the celebrations go above and beyond everything that you’re complaining about. It’s not hurting the game.. Everyone complaining is acting fricking ridiculous

What does this even mean? What do you mean it will only get worse? How can celebrations get worse?
What does celebrating a td have to do with money?

Waving the whole defense over to run 50 yards to find a camera after an interception is cringe

I can live with the td celebrations. It’s the waving the whole team over that’s so stupid

Evertime a guy makes a 1st down, he's got to get up and flex. Twice tonight, the 1st downs was negated by a penalty...but let's just flex anyway.

I saw a play one week where a DB successfully defended a WR in the end zone from catching the ball. So the DB started flexing. Then the ref threw a flag for defensive holding. And now the WR is flexing. Is this how men suppose to act?

It's annoying, but it's whatever. The thing that bothers me is toward the end of the game when my team is winning and is on defense, they'll sack the QB and then start dancing....while the clock ticks down and the offense is scurrying to get to the line and run another play, spike, whatever. You're taking a chance that you won't be set when the ball is snapped because you have to do your little sack dance.

Cam Jordan did that a week or two ago and it was weirdly pissing me off. And I love Cam too. But I was like get back to the line, idiot, they're about to snap the ball.

dunno but i really really love it when a player makes a play and he rapidly walks 5-10 yards and gives off an intense stare at i’m really not sure of

apt of these players were blessed w/ athletic ability but it took away from their mental ability

It’s not just the NFL. Flexing is the thing now. The 130 pound white kid who is a walk-on at shitty school will flex on the end of the bench when his teammate makes a layup.

Defender makes tackle after 20 yard gain, gets up to flex. Wr catches pass for 5 yards, gets up to flex. Basketball player makes layup through minimal contact, flex.

During Rams/Cards, first punt of the game, Rams have a tiny little human man returning punts. He calls a fair catch, let’s out a roar, flexes, then does the spin football like a top deal.

Was watching Mavs/Magic the other night. Jalen Suggs gets an and 1 layup on Luka. The shitty Wagner brother gets right in Luka’s face, yells right in his face, and flexes on him. This dude had no part in the play and the Magic were down 20 in the 4th quarter.

why are you still watching a sport/players/business that hates you?

why are you wasting the limited time you have in your life to watch such a shitty product?

Go outside. Call your dad. Learn a hobby. You'll be happier for it.

It's been going on for years now but when did it become a thing to do the flexing pose, but not really flex? I see a lot of players do this number
