What has the NFL come to? Seriously folks, we pump these guys up with ACDC and Guns n Roses as they enter into the stadium through the tunnel filled with fog, cheerleaders and 75,000 raging fans. We scream for them. Yell at them. Cheer for them. Then, we tell them “no horse collar tackling, no helmet to helmet contact, and no props during your post-touchdown celebration?” If you think about it, it’s somewhat our fault for getting them so excited. Then we tell them to settle down!
Now, Wes Welker of the New England Pat’s is a man who understands what’s going on. He get’s the hint that the NFL is in an age of the kinder, gentler, player. So, he catches a pass, works his way into the endzone, and celebrates by making a little “snow angel.” What’s more kind and geltle than a snow angel? You would think that, if anything, the quarterback-protectin’ officials would add some yards onto the Pat’s kick off, to reward Wes for his bold and courageous move.
But instead, a personal foul for making a snow angel? Seriously? What’s the NFL coming to? I suppose next you are going to tell me that the Tennessee Titans have clinched home field advantage all the way through the playoff’s or something.
Matt, I could not disagree with you more. Over the years the snow angel has become an internationally recognized symbol of hate and intolerance. Personally, nothing is more offensive than a cherub getting his snow on. And I don’t know what type of football games you are watching, but in recent years ACDC has been replaced with much more violent lyrics and aggressive music. Just the other day, I heard (with my own ears) 4 part harmony singing Frosty the Snowman. Seriously, and this is on during Family Hour?
Before you know it, we will be seeing the same type of horrific actions that you would find in any hooligan filled stadium in Europe….and it is already happening. Just look at this clip.
