No one wants 90mph+ in the eye socket, much less anywhere else.

When one mentions that the TD dance etal is not only ridiculous but quite foolish (John Riggins —I don’t have a dance because you should act like you have been here before and will be there again).
I even think the ‘after game’ celebration(especially on a walk off) is ‘over the top’ as it is a 162 games season.
Just point out to a FBall fan that a dance in the end zone is tantamount to hitting a home run, doing cartwheels down the 3rd base line and doing a ‘spike’ motion towards the Catcher and Pitcher.
Yes, it would certainly be time for some ‘Chin Music’ and I can sort of imagine the Umpire ‘not seeing anything’ (as to the ‘retaliation’)
Yup, I find too much celebratory garbage in MLB as well. Entirely too much standing and eyeballing your homer as it leaves the yard. That will still get someone hit occasionally, not like it used to be for sure. But a pitcher drilling a batter just because he hit a homer last time is bush too, but we don’t see it as much. Still nothing like as bad as NFL.
The 162 game season is why the MLB is able to self police itself, retaliation doesn’t have to even come in the same series or against the offending player himself. And all the players know it, so the guy being a jackwagon will have his own teammates getting him to knock off whatever he was doing. DH with no pitcher hitting or relief pitching or warnings issued don’t matter. Not as pure, but it still works.
