No Fun League strikes again!! This is beyond ridiculous. WHYYYY?! C’mon fam!!! Smh. We heard it could happen over the weekend and now it has. The NFL is going to penalize players for dunking over the goal post starting this year. Hit the jump for details…
Via NFL.com:
NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino told the “Dan Patrick Show” on Tuesday that dunking over the crossbar will be penalized, starting in the 2014 season.
There already was a rule in place against using the football as a prop in celebrations. Penalizing dunks is an enforcement of the existing rule, as opposed to a new rule on the books.
“We grandfathered in some, the Lambeau Leap and things like that. But dunking will come out,” Blandino said. “Using the ball as a prop or any object as a prop, whether that’s the goal post, the crossbar, that will come out and that will be a foul next season.”
