Touchdown celebrations need to go away

| January 5, 2023 1:00 AM

Being a fan of NFL football and college football, I don't understand why these professional football players, who are paid millions of dollars, have to do those stupid dances and celebrations when they make a touchdown. What the heck? That's what they are paid to do, score touchdowns.

I remember the days of the great Jim Brown who was probably one of the best running backs in football, when he scored a touchdown he just gave the ball to one of the Officials as did most of the other great running backs. Now all of that dumb dancing and celebrating a touchdown.

I think it's absurd and the NFL should do something about that. Can you imagine a professional baseball player doing a stupid dance when he hits a home run or any other professional sports players doing what those stupid NFL players do? Neither can I.
