As NFL finger gun celebrations increase, so do the penalties and fines

As NFL finger gun celebrations increase, so do the penalties and fines
SHARE

The NFL has seen an increase in penalties and fines for players making finger gun gestures after big plays on the field. This seemingly harmless celebration has now been deemed unsportsmanlike conduct by the league, resulting in 15-yard penalties and hefty fines for players.

In the first four weeks of the season, eight players were penalized and fined for making finger gun motions. This trend continued in Week 5, with two more players flagged for the gesture. The fines for these infractions averaged around $12,697.50 per player.

While some players like Atlanta Falcons’ Drake London have expressed regret for their actions, others have pointed out inconsistencies in the officiating. Players like Darius Slayton have highlighted the double standards in penalizing some players for the gesture while letting others slide.

The NFL’s rules on unsportsmanlike conduct are clear, stating that any act contrary to the principles of sportsmanship, including violent gestures, will result in penalties and fines. This crackdown on violent celebrations is not new, as the league has a long-standing rule discouraging such behavior on the field.

Despite warnings and annual reminders to players about acceptable forms of celebration, the popularity of finger gun gestures has increased in recent years. The NFL is committed to sending a strong message against violent gestures, especially in light of their influence on younger audiences.

In college football, similar trends have been observed, with players mimicking gun gestures during games. The NCAA has also taken steps to address this issue, emphasizing that gun violence has no place in the sport.

As the NFL continues to crack down on unsportsmanlike conduct, players are urged to find alternative ways to celebrate their achievements on the field. The league hopes that the recent penalties and fines will prompt players to rethink their actions and choose more appropriate forms of expression.
