Why does field rushing, object throwing, and fake injuries never happen in the NFL?

Because the NFL bans fans for life who trespass or throw objects. And teams would be heavily punished (suspensions, fines, loss of draft picks, etc) if they started blatantly disrespecting the game with fake injuries. College football does not have any unsolvable problems. It simply has a lack of desire to fix them.

NFL fans are fighting all the time in the stands, in the concourse, in the parking lot, and on the streets after the game. Same for MLB.

Eagles fans threw batteries at Santa Claus.

TV has absolutely no desire to seek fake injuries addressed.
Those additional commercial breaks means $-millions.

Um

They have to follow THE SCRIPT!

There's no fake injuries, but PLANNED INJURIES!

Thousands of people under 21 all in the same area?

Do you really need to ask?

The outrage against Texas was plain stupid. It’s a bunch of kids doing what they do.

And I despise Ut

Hey, I'd rather see my Ole Miss fans rush the field after the game than have them be like the LSUx fans who rushed the parking lot in the 3rd quarter.

I'm a little ashamed to admit I threw beer cans on the field in the NFC championship screw job the Saints received against the rams

How is stupid to hold people responsible for their actions? Ban anyone throwing trash and send the message that such behavior will not be tolerated. End of story. They can throw trash in their dorm all they want.

Object throwing has happened in the NFL (Bottlegate)

Field rushing doesn’t really happen even though the Bills fans have rushed the field a couple of times back in the 80s and 90s

I didn’t say it was. I answered the “why” question.
I added that I think the outrage is overblown. It’s a bunch of dumbass kids. People act like it’s the equivalent of 9/11.

It’s not so much outrage. It’s just getting way too overused. Damn near every top 25 win has turned into a field rush and even good calls at inconvenient times are resulting in trashing the field. The “extra” passion in college sports used to make it unique when this stuff happened occasionally every few years. Now it is trashy and lacks authenticity. The people doing it are staring at their phones more than enjoying the moment.

The NCAA is not going to address fake injuries on the field because it opens the door for liability. All it takes is one player to say "I would have taken a knee on the field but I didn't want to be out a whole series (or whatever the rule the NCAA came up with)" and then the player gets further injured. The player sues the NCAA for creating an "environment" where they are less likely to seek medical attention. That's why it won't happen. Rules around injuries are radioactive.

The NCAA is going to let the conferences fine the schools or maybe the coaches after reviewing tape after the games. The schools and coaches likely agree to some panel that looks at a specific injury and says "yeah, that was complete bullshite" and fine them. And the fine will be higher each time it happens. The players are not going to be involved because it really isn't on them.
