News articles in the past few days have mentioned the NFL's plans to break down more film for studying "Gang Signs" by players. After the death in 2007 of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams, who was gunned down by suspected gang members, the league has decided to take a firmer stance on such acts.
When Celtics player Paul Pierce appeared to flash "a menacing gesture" at an Atlanta Haks during a game, it grabbed the attention of league commisioners from the NFL and MLB. NHL spokesman Frank Brown said Tuesday his league has "a general prohibition" against anything a dirty sailor would do or say at the docks at night.
Personally I think its dumb. What constitutes a gang symbol? There are plenty of hand gestures that closley resemble sign language used by deaf/mutes and, as seen here, hillbillies alike.
I think they could do more productive things. Like preventing players from "Making it rain" at strip clubs, bringing guns to night clubs, and having your $50K chain snatched off your neck at a club.

I dated a female gangmember once. She was Mexican. She had ties to one of the LA gangs called the "Hill side Trece". ("Trece" means "13" in english) She was a monster, tats all over her body. She was cool though. She used to use all kinds of "hand gestures" on me...if you know what i mean. I broke up w/her because she said she wanted her "homies" to run a train on me...it really scared me
choo, choo, vato
