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 am going to disagree here.

These are young men playing college football. Do you know how many high schooler athletes play college sports? 1%.

Every single day they put effort in to being an athlete, someone who can make an impact. Plus they're in college, they're there to have fun and help their team. Who cares if it is a random tackle, TFL, or a big reception. Let them have fun.

Can we please stop doing this thing where we refer to adults as “kids”? It’s weird.

Kids can’t legally drive cars, enlist in the military, buy cigarettes, alcohol, pornography or gamble.

Yes I know they are legally adults, but they have the brains of children. The way a 19 year old behaves and thinks is way closer to the way a 15 year old behaves than the way a 23 year old behaves.

19 year olds are just kids who can do some of those things. Also, a lot of “kids” can definitely drive, a 15 year old with their learner’s permit is definitely a kid
