Do you like the NFL TD Celebrations

[low-key]

Not at first but they grown on me, as long as they are not grabbing their junk or acting like they are peeing or pooping

Honestly why would any grab themselves? Are they checking to make sure it is still there?

have no ideal, its looks stupid, but a few do it

I think they're fun. Some of them are really creative.

It's like they're say, "Take this! I'm the man!" I personally think it's silly & not at all impressive.

Nope. Hand the ball to the ref and get your butt back where it belongs.

But I do have to admit when the guy autographed the ball and threw it to the defender's agent, that was genuinely clever and funny. Still don't approve, however.

Zero, absolutely zero, respect for the players and the NFL that allows this crapola. If you are real professional and leader in your sport you don't need to act like a fool. The fact that the NFL allowed that junk is an embarrassment to the sport and one of the reasons I walked away from watching the NFL.

I like the choreographed ones. They are funny

I thought that basically they had to be on the sidelines these days or else they would get penalized on the kickoff.

I do remember way back in the early 80s the NFL wasn't quite the "No Fun League" and they let it go before "excessive celebration" penalties. In particular, the Cowboys had these dances that all the receivers would participate together.

Here's a compilation from the 80s. No Cowboys, but a couple of backflips.

Supposedly the one that kind of signaled the end of touchdown celebrations was Butch Johnson's "California Quake". It was so over the top that the NFL made celebrations in the endzone illegal.

I don't need to see it on every first down. Or if a db breaks up a pass after he's given up two td's and 200 yards to a WR. But other than that I'm ok with it

 

[BrianL]

I don't mind a very brief celebration or pose, as long as it is tasteful. It should last about 2 seconds though - a little fist pump or something. That's it though. I don't care for the elaborate dances, especially when they are particularly obnoxious.

 

[Micca]

They can do whatever they want, I won't be watching.

 

[dish rag]

No

 

[Uncle Coaster]

Not a fan and as a PP alluded to, its the celebrations on any first down or defensive stop that takes me out of a game. Haven’t watched an NFL game in over 15 years and the celebrations are a big part of it.

Essentially, no team was “likable”.

I've got no problem with it, but then again I grew up during the era when Billy "White Shoes" Johnson was the standard:

The only time I was entertained by someone grabbing their junk (at a sporting event, I mean) was when Roseanne grabbed hers after “singing “ the National Anthem. Many were offended, but I thought it was fabulous! I mean, what do you think’s gonna happen when you ask Roseanne to do something like that at a ball ️ game?

LOL, I forgot about that

 

[L&Lfan]

Aw, I miss Roseanne!

 

[OKW8297]

Only when the Patriots do it

 

[Moliphino]

I think it's fun. I like it when they get creative with it.

It's fine with me. Like others have said, celebrating when you make a first down, tackle or some other mundane thing during a game (especially if you're losing by a lot) is annoying, however.
