NFL gangbangers being watched

We've seen NFL players celebrate a touchdown by pulling a sharpie from their sock to autograph a ball, but don't think they'll be tagging the advertising hoardings anytime soon.

From the Los Angeles Times yesterday:

The NFL, concerned that some players might celebrate by flashing the hand signals of street gangs, has hired experts to examine game tapes and identify the gestures.

Stupid, yes. Shocking, no.

Remember when Paul Pierce was fined for flashing a gang sign in a Celtics' playoff game?

 If you need to gang bang in the NFL or NBA you need to be fired. We do not want our children's role models flashing gang signs. Professional sports is not the place for gang banging.....

Is there an on-line encyclopedia of gang signs somewhere? Because I don't really want to throw one by accident and I'm a major hand-talker.

I'm French/Canadian - I would not be able to say a word if I had to sit on my hands!!!! 

I do, however, love the universal sign that everyone understands.........................letting idiots know they are number one, especially on the LA freeway!!!!!

CHICO:  you, my dear, are too too funny!!!

See, if all those gangbangers who know signs they could get really good jobs teaching ASL to those that need to know ESL!!!!!
