I won't be shocked if NFL bans Cam's TD tradition

Its really not about danger. There is an element concerning danger that has been mentioned.

 

But from a purely business standpoint, I wouldn't  be surprised if the league banned it as well.

 

Why? Because we as a  nation have grown accustomed to me me me. One kid gets a ball , and it means umpteen number of other kids didn't. This is not a situation where a ball is kicked and not caught by the net in the stands. Its one where a star player selectively chooses one kid of another, or one fan over another. One fan happy in getting a ball is 30 more fans pissed they didn't get it.

 

I know and agree its stupid, but its the nature of business. Making one person happy at the expense of 30, 40, 100, 1000 others is a big no no. Of course it isn't an "expense" really , but fickle people that think they deserve a ball see it that way. If i paid big money for me and my family to be placed in the front row in prime spot to possibly get a ball,only to see it given away to some kid that ran down from the cheap seats....I might be pissed as well.

Are you serious!?

You think people would get that upset they didn't get a ball and hold a grudge.

Shoot! If that's the case: Companies, would stop giving away free stuff (which they do all the time to promote stuff), cause they almost always never have enough. 

Hell! Wouldn't people get mad for not winning various contest and lotteries (yes, we know it's random, but only a few win). Just think about Radio contest (who calls in first; the 110th caller, etc..).

So you are one of those "me me me" persons that you were just describing as being stupid???

I could see they limiting it to one ball a game. Even though the NFL makes so much money they'll do whatever they can to save some. Those balls are expensive 

For some reason, I thought the NFL already fined players who gave balls away?  I just always thought Cam did it anyway.  Shows how much I know.

Common misconception. There's fines for throwing balls into the stands, not handing them.

      It's not good to leave any netminder having a bad night out there, not fair to them, not fair to the skaters still trying to win the game It's classless and shows a lack of respect, for them has a player and a human being, you aren't gaining anything, you aren't learning anything , except they just don't have it that night. I don't care if it's a multiple Vezina Winner, or a 3rd string back up, don't leave them out there to shame themselves and the rest of the team  What if Lavi left Cam in when he didn't have it, and Rod had to skate knowing he essentially has an open net at his end of the ice, would he enjoy that ?

      If they draft Stewart at 8th, I will ask @Mr. Scot for a list of GMs and might as well ask for HC too.....

      I can't for the life of me figure out what people are seeing in Stewart on tape. If he can't just simply run around or through the OL in front of him, he's cooked. I don't see any actual moves. If he doesn't win on sheet athleticism at the point of contact he's nullified. I don't know if I've ever seen him actually beat a block once engaged. Then, even if he just blasts right past or through the OL and has a clean path to the ball it's like he's blind. He can't find the ball. He's like a bottle rocket. Yeah, he takes off fast but he's just going to go fast in a general direction. There will be no course correction. I watched quite a bit on him just because of his perceived draft evaluation and because of the wild discrepancy between measurables and production. Watch him play and it all makes since. He's a god tier physical specimen who just happens to be playing football. I don't see a football player. People need to stop falling in love with the potential and start realizing why the potential isn't translating.
