Be careful, I might taunt you with my dancing!
OK, since the beginning of time, even cave men danced. I can't imagine a more original way for a person to express excitement than with a dance or two- step celebration. Dancing is a universal language that for the most part all culture's accept and understand. Especially in the world of sports, because it's athletes that are the next best dancers of the world because their agility, balance & flexibility. Which why we don't understand why football will no longer permit endzone touchdown line dance's.
In American football, where it's most common recognized, they refer to it as 'touchdown celebrations'. In 2006 the NFL, in an effort to cut down on celebrations, amended its rules to include an automatic 15 yard penalty against any player who leaves his feet or uses a prop, like a towel, or more specifically the football. The penalty is called as "excessive celebration".
Taunting and extreme celebration are both offenses in the NFL as a result, gaudy displays are often frowned upon. If the league views the act as highly offensive, large fines and even suspensions can be issued. However simply spiking the call is not considered "excessive celebration". Jumping onto the outer wall to accept contact from fans, such as a leap is also not considered such, as it is off the field of play.
