The NFL isn’t quite the “No Fun League” anymore. After plenty of criticism about coming down too harshly on players celebrating touchdowns in games, the league relaxed its penalty rules on celebrations for the 2017 season. The relaxed rules allow a few new things for players:
- They can use the football as a prop in celebrations2. Players can celebrate on the ground3. Group demonstrations are (finally) allowed Keeping those new guidelines in mind, players have gotten creative with their decidedly theatrical celebrations. Here’s a look at the best from the 2017 season (so far):
- The Steelers channel their inner James Harrison with a mock weightlifting session:
