[quote]And everyone one of them agrees that tea-bagging is a celebration of a point[/quote]
Well of course you would all agree on that - because you all do it... besides, what do I care what you and your work buddies think? Do you and your buddies work in the industry? Do you have any experience playing games at league-level play in addition to pubmatches? Where you guys see the teabag as a celebration, I see the teabag in any form, as unsportsmanlike - a celebration would be like shouting out, "holy shit! "awesome!" or something to that effect.
The thing that differs from say a celebration after a touchdown and teabag, is that touchdown celebrations are general, not personal. Spiking a football and high-fiving the crowd while cheering, is okay, which is why it's allowed, but once you direct your celebration at the opposing team. Once your celebration can be seen as less about jubilation and more about taunting or provoking, that is when penalties are called and/or players are fined.
Teabags exist on a personal level, and typically not in a celebratory manner. It's also common practice for players to teabags those they simply don't like, regardless if they defeated them in a firefight or not. Teabagging is generally used to taunt and a provoke, and regardless if you and your work buddies and millions of others see it otherwise, doesn't change this. When I can walk past a player and hear them on proxy chat saying "bad bitch,! bad bitch,! bad bitch!" as their virtual genitals smash down a defeated avatar, "just in good fun," or a "gesture of goodlwill," doesn't really come to mind.

Good for her?
[quote]Just because we are older and grew up in life doesn't mean something not funny anymore. [/quote]
But I never thought it was funny to begin with...even when it was a brand new concept or at it's "prime."
[quote]They guys at the firehouse and others like the one I work at all think it's funny and do it themselves and their all in the 30-50 so maybe think about that.[/quote]
Think about what? That people of older age agree with you on this? Because I care what other people think? Sorry to disappoint, but I think for myself and form my own opinions.
[quote]And let's just get this straight you're trying to convince us that this "code" you play by should be apart of the game and should be reportable. Good luck.[/quote]
Who said that? I never did... I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I was just sharing something I do personally, in a thread where it seemed appropriate. Apparently, many of you didn't take too lightly to it, responding with anger, insults, threats, and overall disapproval - but apparently, I'm the one that's butthurt...
[quote] I've been to a few MLG tournaments and I've seen tea-bagging there. No one cares about it.[/quote]
MLG is the bane of competitive gaming...I'm not alone on this thought.
