The Firebaugh Kid Posted March 27 Posted March 27 The NFL has classified the "nose wipe" celebration, a gesture where a player mimics wiping their nose, as a "violent gesture". This will now be considered a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. I always thought this gesture meant something to do with.....ummm....well.......something gross related to male/female private interactions. Apparently, it's got something to do with gangs. What say you? 1 Quote

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Had to google it, but this is what it says: The nose wipe is a gang sign associated with the Bloods, indicating someone is untrustworthy. I don't understand the symbology. Like you I thought it had to do with fingering and then sniffing it. Either way I don't think it makes sense as an NFL celebration. As far as the rule change goes I don't care. Have any of our guys ever used it as a celebration? 1 1 Quote
MJS Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Apparently it is something Deshaun Watson used to do, so that's enough for me to be against it. 3 1 13 2 Quote
MPL Posted March 27 Posted March 27 But what if it's a really cold game and your nose just won't stop running? Is actually wiping your nose still okay? 2 5 1 Quote
boyst Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Amazing how underworld activities and the knowledge of such cultures is so prevalent in the NFL. 3 3 Quote
US Egg Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I think it’s also the gang sign for the Van Buren Boys. 2 11 2 Quote

What say you? Expand FWIW, I heard on the radio it’s a sexual gesture as well. I never heard of the reference, not does probably anyone else who is over 45. It’s a bit silly, but whatever. Quote

Expand This is far from the in play nonsense where players point, taunt, etc. this is after the play buffoonery. It's silly and bad sportsmanship. What you do should speak so loudly that no one can hear what is said. And the scoreboard should be the answer to any questions or comments. 2 Quote

frostbitmic Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Thank you Rodger, this is the biggest worry I had going into the coming year, childish gang signs ... Bye the way, have they figured out what a catch is yet ? ... Have you figured out what to do with awful officiating ? ... Yeah I thought not. 1 Quote
