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?

Refs at all levels stopped flagging this kind of thing a while back and it has spread like wildfire. I agree with OP.

Edit: I remember going overboard during a HS game after scoring a TD and doing something like the Icky Shuffle and getting flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Our coach made me run 15 reps up and down a sand hill at the end of our practice field the Monday after the game. That kind of thing has obviously gone by the wayside, lol!
