The “No Fun League” Strikes Again, Blames It On “The Captain”

The “No Fun League” Strikes Again, Blames It On “The Captain” thumbnail

Apparently, the NFL doesn’t want to have a little Captain in them.

Or so it seems after the league banned poses similar to the one Brent Celek struck after scoring a touchdown this past weekend. You know the one: right leg up as if standing on something, right hand on right knee, and left hand on left hip.

You know, the “Captain Morgan” pose.

Yes, that’s right. The league, claiming knowledge of a league-wide campaign where Morgan distributor Diageo would donate money to the NFL Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund every time a current NFL-er struck the pose on camera, shut down the barely-off-the-ground guerrilla campaign.

“A company can’t pay a player to somehow promote its product on the field,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told Yahoo! Sports. “Every league has the same rule. It’s come up before, companies trying to use our games and then players for ambush marketing purposes.”

Yahoo also quoted an unidentified league official as saying that while Celek won’t be fined for his actions, anyone caught doing the pose will be subject to “significant” penalty.

And so the world asks…are you serious, NFL?
