"Thug Life!"

FILE UNDER: Oh Word?


Inglewood. Always up to no good(?).

The crackdown on "street gangs" has been taken from the streets to the football fields and basketball courts. Yahoo reports:

"The NFL is stepping up its monitoring of on-field player activities to ensure that no one is flashing the hand signals of street gangs.

The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that the league had hired experts to look at game tapes and identify players or team officials who might be using suspected gang signals. Violators would be warned and disciplined if the episodes recurred...The NFL took further notice after Paul Pierce of the NBA’s Boston Celtics was fined $25,000 in April for what the league said was a “menacing gesture” toward the Atlanta Hawks’ bench."
