In my opinion, people can do whatever they want on the field when it comes to celebrations, as long as it's not offensive or affect the playing field or another player.

If I were making 5 million a year playing the greatest sport in the world, scored a touchdown with thousands of fans screaming, hell yeah I would lose my mind a little. But instead, these kinds of rules would force me to hand the ball to the ref and act like I don't care that what I'm doing is fucking awesome.

I'm on the other side. I've never liked "me me me"-ing in sport, especially in a team sport. I understand how exuberance can get the better of one, but I've always admired those who treated their achievements the way Barry Sanders did: beat the other guy by being better, and then just give the ball to the official until the next time.

Cast scorn on it, yes. Calli it childish, or tacky, or dumb, or offensive?

Tebow says Super Bowl ad cost him endorsement deals

Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow says his decision to appear in a Super Bowl commercial for Focus on the Family cost him opportunities to appear in other commercials.

Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post reports that Tebow said during a speech in Nashville that multiple companies told him he couldn't represent their products if he appeared in the Focus on the Family ad.

Tebow didn't name the companies and said he didn't regret his decision to appear in the ad.

Whatever deals he may have lost, Tebow won't be hurting for endorsement money. He's already inked deals with Nike and EA Sports, and he has an arrangement with a Florida autograph company that sells his signature for $160 a pop.
