Locker Room Lawyer, Episode 9: NFL penalties

7:27 AMIn this week’s edition of Locker Room Lawyer, Clinton Yates and Domonique Foxworth take the case of the NFL players who have recently been penalized for excessive celebrations to The Undefeated courtroom.

While speaking to media Tuesday, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expressed the need for more clarity on the league’s unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has already been penalized twice this season — once during Week 1 after celebrating a touchdown by twerking, and again during Week 4 after celebrating another score with pelvic thrusts. It’s worth noting that Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders also twerked after a touchdown in Week 2, but wasn’t penalized.

So, is the league unfairly targeting star players?

Domonique, a former NFL cornerback and our Locker Room Lawyer, has elected to defend the players who received these unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, while Clinton takes the side of the league, calling for the elimination of all celebration dances, no matter what the play.

What do you think these guys have to say about all of the penalties?
