Daddy, that's right out of an old POE.
POE 1A- TAUNTING/SELF-PROMOTION;- 2003-04
"Further, the committee is concerned with the trend towards players 'playing to the crowd', attempting to increase attention and praise for their own individual accomplishments rather than towards the game itself and team accomplishments. While many of these actions are not specifically illegal by rule, extreme behavious could and should be considered taunting and baiting of the opponents".
That falls in line with the FED's concern with "number popping" in this year's POE.--"Holding the uniform out from the chest area to display the team name to the opponent
or fans".
If the kid ain't being obnoxious, I'd just tell him to knock that sh!t off. A little whisper to his captain or coach might help too.
