CeeDee Lamb responds to NFL’s controversial ‘nose wipe’ penalty decision
NY Post
CeeDee Lamb’s well-known celebration could become a thing of the past following the latest NFL rule change.
In a new rules report sent to teams around the league this week, the “nose wipe” gesture has been categorized as a “violent gesture” and will result in a 15-yard penalty.
Said gestures “shall include but not be limited to a throat slash, simulating firing or brandishing a gun, or using the ‘nose wipe,'” according to a snippet of the unsportsmanlike conduct guidelines shared Wednesday on X by ESPN analyst Benjamin Solak.
Pro Football Talk expanded on the gesture Wednesday, noting “the nose wipe is a gang sign associated with the Bloods, indicating someone is untrustworthy.”
And even Lamb weighed in, responding to Solak’s post: “Smh, i have plenty in mind.”
The Cowboys’ first-round pick in 2020, the star wide receiver has performed the move across his five seasons in Dallas.
