Following conversations with dozens of players, we’re making changes to our celebrations policy: https://t.co/1NLdEJjsGD

Back in May, Emperor Goodell finally talked to players and made the easiest, most obvious decision ever by allowing group TD celebrations in an attempt to drop the “No Fun League” label he’s single-handedly created. Players and fans alike heard this news and immediately knew it was a PR stunt, but were excited about the possibilities.
Well, here’s our first one of the 2017 season and comes by way of the Detroit Lions. A little double-dutch action as an appetizer for what we can expect this fall.
The catch was great… the celebration was even better! #NYJvsDET

Listen, it’s not the most creative or best celebration I’ve ever seen, but it’s a start. We need to work our way back into this. I fully expect by week 10, we’re going to see some wild shit. I need these players testing Goodell’s patience by taking it as far as possible.
Make him want to change that rule back knowing full well he won’t be able to without loads of backlash.
