shiny happy fan
High School and College ball enjoy great success and excitement for hundreds of thousands of football fans across America. Of course, celebrations are outlawed after scoring TD's in these leagues. Does that take away from their game?
With that said, I don't mind a little TD dance myself but when the players make these celebrations personal attacks on the fans as in Owens and Moss's shows of disdain I would not fault the NFL if they wanted to nip this in the bud before something ugly happens. The players and the fans are interacting more and more each year and its not just the home team jumping into the stands and enjoying a home TD. There are more visiting teams that have players stand up and want to make this personal with fans after scoring and I think it is a dangerous trend. I think the game would lose nothing of value if it was more like College ball in this regard.
