Proper Football Etiquette: Please & Thank You Goes a Long Way | NFL Films Presents

[Music] football etiquette there is none where there should be not Lao manners I mean I hope not I don't know what manner would be I know man is on a football field I don't think I'm the one to ask about that a gentleman's game it is not playing football requires strength of mind and body there's no room for pleasantries you got to realize like it takes certain people to play this sport it's constant hitting some people just getting a different state of mind a play for those three hours sixty minutes of the game there is no nice guys I mean come on now this ain't the choirboys not even close its violent I mean we shake hands after each play oh it's never one of those oh you all right oh I'm sorry [Applause] [Music] you knock people down you try to bury them and that's how you play the game [Music] it's a very violent sport but that also doesn't mean that you can't have etiquette to support what the sport is I mean I'm never gonna say don't tackle quaint Burlington Vermont is home to America's foremost authority on manners we define etiquette as being made up of manners and principles and together they form a ticket which is how we interact with each other [Music] enter a quarterback from Stanford who turned the tide on nastiness in the NFL I love that Andrew Luck congratulate the other players when they sack him that is how you can apply etiquette to football where there's violence good traffic so much yeah I'm a Spartan USAC you know great jobs Oak Creek now crap that might be like a reverse psychology thing it goes a long way I mean I've seen guys that actually had like man you're great you know appreciate you not killing me next time they get that shot it's a little bit more of a fair shot I think it's great sportsmanship and I think it's really cool I'm as funny sometimes nicest guy you'd ever be in your life so you can you can't there's no conflict situations with him I could imagine anybody getting that hard borderline creepy sometimes how nice he is I think he's weird luck hasn't changed everyone's mind but there's certainly more civility in the NFL it's the weirdest thing ever for me I'm nothing to applaud you for you know that's crazy you are in an aggressive mode you're cited now it's just this nice guy telling y'all good job man good luck thank you that's so friendly now you painted a dude you leave on the ground you push off and you get up you want him to be upset or angry at you I think Russell Wilson comes to mind it would be amazing if that was just a part of every player's natural protocol that would be really supportive behavior going on on the field every single industry can be improved if we're focusing on etiquette a little bit more doesn't even have to be full-blown you know formal manners we're just talking about being aware of the people around us and how our behavior and our language affects them and affects our relationships with them go call me first apologize the best the first play I think I kicked you in the hand that was in a handle again they're very nice to meet you thank you I definitely think it's important not lose any civility just because you're on a football field water bottle please saying please and thank you is not just something that moms and grandmas made up please change is a demand into a request and thank you shows acknowledgement and appreciation I can't think of two better words to be using all the time when you're asking for things and having people help you out during those few hours that you're on the field just imagine if you took all that support staff away and we're playing a game and you've got to let go walk to get your water thanks Eddie there's so many things that these folks do for you okay Thomas Hughes let me get those cheap packs that are covered up in the zipper thanks Cole fix this for me thank you and you really need to respect the refs right you're right I got you okay it's insanely important to know when you're wrong and to acknowledge it you might want to make sure you're giving it at a time when the person can really listen so it might be a game follow up last time I played I disrespect you and I apologize you held the play I also think it is important to make sure that you are really good at receiving apologies don't worry about it's over over it so they know hey it's okay we're good say excuse me if you belch or if you hock a loogie or any of those things snot rocket anything like that when you knock someone down we tend to suggest that you help them up and I think that just because you're on a football field and because you're supposed to be knocking them to heaven although it doesn't absolve you of having to help them up it's a really good show of sportsmanship and for all the violence between the whistles while it may not turn foe into friend when that final one sounds they walk away politely there's something to be said about you know hitting each other in the mouth for you know 60 minutes and then going over there and shaking that guy's hand at the end of the game realizing you're both achieving your dream you want that guy to be successful just as much as you want to be stuff for yourself football is a game after all and good sportsmanship is good etiquette that's out there man

According to the Journal, another one of Luck's favorite compliments is "What a hit!" New England Patriots pass rusher Rob Ninkovich found himself so confused by one of Luck's congratulatory comments that he says he blurted out, “Thanks for ... uh ... accepting that hit?” before running back to the huddle.

2:05 'ahhhh big strong man nice'

Honestly that's almost horror movie serial killer like if I'm a defensive player, you hit him as hard as you want and he seems almost unfazed and still composed, like Jason taking wound after wound

From guy who works with Russell Wilson..

[u/Quinnster247]

Richie Incognito, "I don't think I'm the one to ask about that" LOL

Ryan Fitzpatrick asking them to stay in the huddle please sounded like my girlfriend does when she’s trying to keep the two year olds at her daycare on the carpet.

Pretty sure Dez saying thank you was for a flag being thrown lol

[u/chadthundertalk]

Do not test my politeness.
