I don't know if it was the crip dance or not, but the NFL has a responsibility to make sure it markets positive role models for kids. The other leagues need to take a page out of the NFL's book.
The NBA is a disgrace in this regard.
The NFL can't have itself associated with gang signs...and yes, gangs are still a huge problem.

I hear ya, but my point is, is it actually seen as a "C-walk" anymore, or just some mainstream dance(considering the Youtube link I sent underneath of a dancer teaching kids the exact same move)? It's not like he pulled out a blue bandana or beads or anything like that. Or flashed some gangsign with his fingers. I know nothing about these dances so I was disgusted when I first heard about it, but the more I read into it, the more it sounds like just a mainstream move you'd see at any bar these days.
I think the NFL needed to crack down on dances for sure, especially with players using props for TD celebrations(ie Chad Johnson "putting" the football with the endzone post). But I think they've gone a little too extreme the other way. I still can't believe Lance Moore was flagged for doing the soccer slide in London after his TD. The Wembley fans loved the reference, wasn't the point to promote the game?
EDIT: On a side note, I can't believe I'm stuck at school all day today. This is the first time I've missed the Thanksgiving Day games in years. Lame.
