Old Ag here watching HS playoff highlights, College and some Pro games. All these kids are running their finger across their face and pointing downfield on first downs. Does this gesture mean what I think it does or is their some new meaning to the finger under the nose? If not then it's pretty messed up seeing it all over the place now. Help me out.

i think its *not* the throat slash if that's what you're getting at ... if so, i had a similar reaction. first time i saw one of our guys do it while we were driving for a go ahead td, i thought for sure it was about to be a 15 yrd penalty...
Your mom celebrated first downs.
If you think it means they got a first down, then it is most definitely what you think it means…

Yeah, not thinking throat slash.. definitely more on the sexual side, Pretty sad seeing young kids do it now. But everything else I our current culture is about the same.
Guys NEED to showboat and call ATTENTION to themselves not enough td's ro fill the void
Exactly what you think OP
Yay we moved the chains.
That's what refs are for. Just a bunch of showboating narcissists acting as if they did something monumentally important.
It also starts with the pa announcer no matter which stadium you're at. And that's another fighting Texas Aggie first down. Or any other school name.
Except they are moving their hand/fingers towards the first down or to the EZ advancing too. Not wiping away.

I should get royalties for it.
Coaches have the capacity to get that s*** under control. Apparently won't do so.

With our offense, it is worth celebrating.

Not sexual. Not violent. Its literally kids having fun.

He's "sick". Ceedee has been doing it forever.
Nothing beats Johnny Jolly celebrating a TFL when we were down 77-0 and the ball carrier had essentially just laid down for a nap.
I'd love to see a badass player just get up and go back to the line of scrimmage after an exceptional play and make a habit of it and have the media ask why he doesn't celebrate and have his answer be "I'm just doing my job, if I don't make an exceptional play, then I'm not doing my job"

College football is built on preventing kids from having fun playing football…always has been.
They're dumb. Best way I can explain it.

Ahhh. This thread title reminds me, fondly, of the Tom Wilson years.
Yall are all a bunch of dweebs if this is what you've got to complain about today. Think about how good your life is if kids playing a game or grown men getting paid to play a game using a hand gesture is what rustles your jimmies this bad.
By this same logic we shouldn't fire the cannon after a touchdown because scoring is the team's job. We shouldn't celebrate wins because winning games is the team's job.

We used to make fun of the HS antics of the Cougar High crowd. Now of course, if it's "for the kids", by definition it must be noble and virtuous.
How out of step we have become.

I'm in my 40's and still think poop is funny, is that good or bad?
I had the last 2 years of RC and the first 3 years of Fran when I was a student. First downs were about all we had to celebrate
My question is why are some things flagged for celebration and not others?

Bu it is sexual. What else is it if not?
Wow y'all really can't stand some kids making a good play and celebrating? Do everyone else a favor and post less.
I love it when defense gets a sack or something on first or second down then run 15 yards up field in celebration. Offenses should go into hurry up and catch the defense trying to run back trying to get into position.

How does one answer the question when the kiddos ask what does that mean when an NFL, college, HS or Jr high player does that? Oh well, sweetheart it means they just had their hands inside a girls private parts and they are smelling it in victory and the pointing means first down.
What about the "let me pull my foreskin down so you can see my ****head" touchdown celebration, and the "safety first, put that seatbelt on kids" pass-breakup celebration?
That about sums it up.
