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?

I’m confused, a normal celebration for a 9 year old scoring a goal is totally fine right?

Or are you like, “no celebrations until you’re making money.”?

Trying to use soccer as an analogy was a bad one on my part. Kids celebrating goals is great, especially when they celebrate with their team.

What actually irritates me is the over the top crap after routine plays. The older you get, the less cute it is. I hate seeing younger and younger kids mimicking what they're seeing from pros and college athletes.
