I don't know much about football, but I would be more likely to watch a game if the players were allowed to dance after a touchdown.

can someone explain why it isn't allowed anymore but it used to be acceptable? I think it just makes things more entertaining.

It is not allowed in college football because it is an exhibit of bad sportsmanship.

I think the NFL allows it, but it screams "1982"

lol...you'd be more inclined to watch football if they were allowed big endzone celebrations? Not much of a football fan are you?

The NFL doesnt allow "premeditated celebrations", such as dances involving more than one person, or someone going to get a sharpie to sign the ball and give it to a fan... they can celebrate in the normal ways like banging their chests, or jumping up at the crowd or whatever.

the throat slash motion is not allowed either, personal foul, 15 yards.

I read that they give out penalties for dances in the NFL. I would watch every game if they did a new team dance every time they scored. It would be so funny to watch.

Because it's stupid and wastes time, which is about eleventy billion dollars a minute.

Yeah... if they all got in the end zone and did the Can-can, I would find it a much more entertaining sport.

Go watch Baseketball and you'll see why.

Ok, you lost your credibility right there....

Obviously you don't know anything.

Baseketball is one of the funniest movies ever made.

I thought you were talking about baseball :)

I don't mind the endzone dances, what I hate is the stupidass D linemen and linebackers doing some lame dance or crouch walk whenever they make a tackle. Wow you made a tackle. Big f'ing deal
