OT - the NFL is making an educational video on proper celebrations
We're developing an educational training video for players to show clear examples of appropriate and inappropriate celebrations. pic.twitter.com/3yzBxAaQuk

So... yeah. Still, I am definitely of two minds about this. Yes, this is pants-on-head stupid. On the other hand, I'm a Browns fan who adopted the Lions as his second team so penalizing players for excessive touchdown celebrations will only help my teams in the long run.
Considering the first gif is from an aau level soocer league and is a bunch of kids, it doesn't really apply to what I said. The second gif is from an international friendly. Those games don't count for anything and are veritable high priced scrimmages. You try that shit in any club league and you be subsequently carded for it. We know you hate soccer, but if you are going to use an example, at least do a little research, and know what the fuck you are talking about. Good try though.

Thanks for saying "good try." It didn't take much effort to find those gifs, though. They prove me right.
I agree about the sexual innuendo stuff. I want my kids to be able to watch.
But as far as one multi-millionaire taunting another multi-millionaire? Pfft. Sign me up for that kind of "abuse".

I get the sportsmanship and respect angle in youth leagues and in college.
But when you're making millions of dollars to score, and potentially millions of dollars more for reaching certain TD goals in the contract, celebrate all you want. They're all grown men playing for a living. If you get bent out of shape in the NFL when your opponent scores on you, do better . . . . I love TO and his shenanigans.
Don't want to see it in college/HS/PeeWee though.
unfortunately, it seems to go exactly the opposite. in general, it's ok if a kid gets too excited because they're just kids, but the older they get, the less acceptable it is because they have to act like they've been there before.
Hand it to the ref like you've been there before.
That move would literraly kill me.
