“excessive celebration”
I would like to see ALL celebrations be made against the rules, period.
These are, after all, professionals. I wonder what my boss would have said if I had jumped up and started dancing just because I did a good job. I would have been terminated on the spot!
Besides, all of these celebrants and ‘dances’ look GAY!
Walter Peyton said he didn’t celebrate because he wanted to act like he had been in the endzone before and would be again. (something to that effect)
The gyrating celebration posturing and self-aggrandizing chest pounding after every marginally successful feat make it basically unwatchable. Same thing with the NBA. Penalties affecting the result of the game, reviewable footage and modern officiating make other players self-policing the jerks impossible.
There’s a reason nobody breaks out into dance moves and points at the pitcher after hitting a routine single off him.
