No pointing your finger; no bandanas?!

I mean... you can't taunt your opponent, ok thats cool, thats fine with me. But, if they vote a certain way, players can't wear bandanas? The 'Uniform Code' is what they are pointing to as the reason. But, I mean thats a little strict/stupid in my opinion.

[H. Tiemann Jr.]

Strict? Stupid?......You better believe it!!

I mean c'mon...what are the rules committee going to think up next? This is starting to get a little rediculous..

[NickHammy]

What's next?....you're not allowed to smile when you make a big play?

[Nate]

That is really stupid! What's with banning the bandanas?

On a side note, this is post 200! No where near people like Patrick and Mr. James, but oh well. :D

Hmmm, I don't know. With all the thuggery in professional sports, trying to tighten things up a little and keep a decent image doesn't necessarily seem like a bad thing to me...but I don't know if this is the right way to go about it. I feel excessive celebration is a STUPID rule (is that just college), but players shouldn't be allowed to taunt. And bandannas--I'd like some more understanding of why they are prohibited.

I believe they pointed to the 'Uniform Code' as the rule, but I believe that there should be allowences for individuality.

Another silly move by the NFL... they're living up to what the XFL tries to make them look like. Let the players have some fun.

Yeah, Marc.... I was just going to say, "XFL, anyone!?", but you took the words right from my mouth!

...I mean... players can't wear bandanas!?... that's starting to sound like my school's clothing policy!
