It's up to the player. Just like any other sport, there are guys who celebrate and guys who just go about their business. Individual fans will gravitate toward the players they think reflect their values. I roll my eyes at some of the ridiculous team celebrations in the NFL but I don't think it needs to be outlawed.

Yup. I don't watch football, but I started getting so sick of having to sit through those celebrations during SportsCentre highlights (I had CFL ones to deal with as well).

Those celebrations reminded me of the NBA's Slam Dunk contest. While at first it was pretty cool, eventually the creativity was stretched too thin and the celebrations were too common. It just becomes worn out, especially when it's every single touchdown.

I don't care if you're up 25-9 and your stealing 3rd, bunting for a hit, or pumping your fist after a homerun.

I remember loving Selanne's throwing up his glove and using his stick as a gun, pretending to shoot the glove like a clay pigeon, it adds some personality to the game.
