I’m sorry, but when I read about the NFL’s new, more relaxed approach to on-field celebrations, I halfway wondered if The Onion was behind it.
I know, it’s a serious subject … I mean, it is, right? … but when my wife, a teacher, said she noticed similarities between the NFL’s new policy and the rules that govern her preschool classroom, I couldn’t help but consider the possibility that it was a parody.
For instance, while celebrations now permitted include “using the football as a prop” after a touchdown, anything mimicking the use of weapons will still draw a flag.
