The 'disgusting' celebration that has outraged America
NFL fans have erupted over what’s been labelled the ‘most disrespectful celebration of all time’.
During the New York Jets’ clash with the Cleveland Browns on Friday (AEST), young running back Isaiah Crowell shocked fans after scoring a touchdown.
A former Browns player who is now with the Jets, Crowell apparently didn’t enjoy his time in Cleveland.
Crowell returned to Cleveland as a member of the Jets on Friday, and let Browns fans know how he really felt about them with a vulgar TD celebration.
Crowell’s inappropriate celebration took place after he scored his second rushing touchdown of the night.
After scoring, Crowell walked to the middle of the end zone, turned his back to the fans, used the football as if it were toilet paper and then threw it into the crowd of Browns fans.
It wasn’t subtle.
As you might expect, Crowell was penalised for the celebration.

Joe Buck, who famously called the Randy Moss mooning celebration, didn’t go so far as to call Crowell’s celebration a “disgusting act”, but he wasn’t too happy about it either.
Joe Buck on Randy Moss fake mooning fans: "A DISGUSTING ACT!"
Joe Buck on Crowell using football as toilet paper and throwing into the stands: "That'll draw a flag."
Age mellows all.

Fans and other pundits weren’t as forgiving as Buck though.
There’s classless, and then there’s disgusting. I want to thank Isaiah Crowell for inspiring me to turn off the TV tonight.

WHAT A DISGUSTING ACT BY ISAIAH CROWELL

Pretty disgusting act by #isaiahcrowell. Will the league actually do something to him? If he's a big player he gets a suspension, because he's whatever, probably nothing. 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct? Should have been more. There's no room for that in the game.

#IsaiahCrowell just pretended to wipe his ass with the football, then threw the ball into the crowd, after his second touchdown. Not cool dude. Nor classy. Nobody enjoyed that TD celebration. #Jets #Browns

Isaiah Crowell scored a touchdown, celebrated by wiping his butt with the ball and threw it into the Browns’ crowd. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a celebration that disrespectful.

Disgusting display by Isaiah Crowell, who showed his contempt for Cleveland fans. #unsportsmanlike, #jets, #moron

Prior to joining the Jets, Crowell spent the first four years of his career in Cleveland.
With the Browns, he ran for over 3,000 yards and 22 total touchdowns in 64 games.
