profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/24/nfl-warns-marshawn-lynch-a-crotch-grab-will-cost-15-yards/The threat of fines has not deterred Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch from grabbing his crotch after scoring touchdowns. But the threat of a 15-yard penalty might. The NFL wants Lynch to know that officials will be on the lookout and ready to assess a 15-yard penalty if Lynch does it again. NFL V.P. of Officiating Dean Blandino told ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio that the Seahawks have been warned that if Lynch makes an obscene gesture at any time during Super Bowl XLIX, the Seahawks will be penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. Blandino told Paolantonio that if Lynch grabs his crotch after scoring a touchdown, “that means they will kick off from the 20 yard line.” That’s where the Seahawks would have kicked off after Lynch scored a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter of the NFC Championship Game. If the officials had seen Lynch grab his crotch, he would have been penalized. Lynch got away with it that time. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll will probably tell Lynch in no uncertain terms that he can’t risk it in the Super Bowl. If Lynch wants to pay a fine out of his own paycheck, that’s his business. If he hurts the team, that’s another story.

I'd rather see him pull out a bicycle pump and reinflate the ball after he scores.

You just know if Terrell Owens or somebody like that was around he'd simulate pumping a football as his TD celebration. Somebody is going there at some point. I might bring a deflated ball to the Super Bowl tailgate next weekend. See how many Pats fans I can piss off.

And then slap themself on the wrist.

Nice that the NFL is clamping down on important issues like Seahawks players grabbing their balls (Lynch) or throwing their balls into the stands (Kearse) while continuing to do nothing about the Cheats repeatedly fiddling with their balls.

What a joke. He might grab his crotch in front of millions of viewers. Big fucking deal. Meanwhile the other participant has been cheating the system for God knows how long.
I can't believe I am defending Seattle. I fucking hate Seattle. But between the Pats always cheating the NFL trying to ruin their game at every turn I am forced to side with them.

Wtf? Real life Hingle McCringleberry?
The NFL desires so much to become a joke that now they're going to imitate actual comedy shows?
Unfuckingreal

Fuck the NFL. They know everyone is going to watch football regardless so they just don't care anymore. They've gotten too big for their own good and Goodell just perpetuates this constant shadiness. We need the XFL or something to make a comeback and bring some competition, knock their egos down a peg or two.

I heard they took it down not long after this story broke about it being for sale. "We're against it, unless we can profit off of it." - NFL
