A little OT, but it is US football policy.

Patrick Mahomes was fined $14,069 for making a violent gesture against the Buffalo Bills.

Patrick, Patrick, Patrick. You can kill someone during a violent play in a football game or, at the very least, give someone a good old fashion smack that causes a concussion and it is still considered a good, hard nosed play.

But apparently football isn’t quite ready for violent gestures.

Oh, but please, no violent gestures. I’m getting a case of the vapors!!!

And while I’m off topic, why can’t the NFL stop all those waddle, head butt, flip-flop, spastic dancing celebrations? Can you imagine a bunch of accountants doing that because a journal entry was balanced? No, it’s your frickin’ job. Sheesh. </curmudgeon rant>

You can’t fix stupid.

That's actually been around quite a while and (I think) across sports, both amateur and pro. If I'm not mistaken, it began with a gesture of slitting someone's throat.

I definitely agree about the celebratory dances/jigs/idiocy. I recall a story about Bear Bryant witnessing such an act and telling a player who'd just rushed for a TD, "Son, act like you've done it before."
