If you strike a batter out in baseball, you have earned the right do something like throwing the ball around the horn. If you score a touchdown in football, you have the right to sit and dance in the endzone because touchdowns aren't easy to come by. I'm all for taunting if you have earned the right to do it. I think sports should go back to the way it was when the U was dominating college football and taunting everyone in sight.

Maybe not to the extent of the U in the early 90s haha but i agree someone. these celebrations are in no way rubbing it into the opponent, but instead a celebration of an accomplishment for your team.

At some point you have to understand the term of competition and let the kids compete and not have everything sugar coated for them.

And you are probably a Terrell Owens/Chad Ochocinco apologist.

Yeah exactly. I'm sure thats something they like doing and they are just pumped while they do it. It doesn't hurt anyone and its just celebrating their run so it should be just fine.

Hiding a cell phone in the padding of the goal post for a post-TD celebration - Joe Horn
Keeping a marker in his sock for a post-TD celebration - Terrell Owens
Wiping his butt on the goal post in Green Bay for a post-TD celebration - Randy Moss
Sending Twitter messages during games - Chad Ochocinco Johnson

Things like the hip bump or storming the court/field are just things done as celebration when you are pumped up not taunting. so it is just fine.

exactly my point...its a celebration that doesnt hurt anyone. same with 2 teammates doing a dance together after scoring a touchdown. the thing Mark McGwire used to do after a homerun where he and a teammate would give each other a jab in the stomach.....its choreographed and planned, which is what people are saying in the bad part, but it doesnt hurt anyone... so whats the problem?
Take these types of celebrations out of the games and its just going to continue to snowball. the next generation will probably want to penalize for a high five or a good job for being unsportsmanlike....maybe a little bit of an exageration, but my point is that as the years pass people begin to find more and more things offensive.
