The debut episode of this year’s in-season Hard Knocks included referee Bill Vinovich telling Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill before Sunday’s game against the Raiders not to display the peace sign while on his way to the end zone.
Hill complied.
On Wednesday, Hill was asked by reporters whether he has banned the practice.
“I don’t think it’s banned,” Hill said. “I don’t know. I think it’s suspended for the moment. Not banned. It’s just suspended for the moment. We’ll just say it’s suspended.”
He can do it if he wants. But he’ll be fined. More importantly, his team will lose 15 yards of field position.
That’s the biggest reason not to do it. There are plenty of ways to celebrate that don’t amount to taunting. He should avoid being selfish and just pick one of those.
