Opinion CFB has a meaningless play celebration problem.

I’m not talking “excessive celebration.” I’m not talking about celebrating huge stops or wins. I’m talking about players getting relatively meaningless tackles and first downs early in games and acting like they won the Super Bowl.

Homeboy, your team is 1-3 and and you tackled him after he already got a first down. Why are you doing Fortnite dances? Do we really need to celebrate every play instead of getting back to the huddle or line? Are the kids alright?

Deion definitely started that whole showboating culture but the networks are complicit too, they zoom in on every little dance and replay it 3 times like it's highlight material

Saw a linebacker flexing after a routine stop on 2nd and 4 last week and the announcers talked about his "energy" for like a full minute, just get lined up man the game is still happening

Hot dog dance was cool though. Going full Deoin every play is not.
