Facts about the 'social network' effect of emotion

  So I did some more research on the chain reaction of happiness. I found that when an individual becomes happy it increases a friend’s chances of happiness, a friend of that friend experiences a nearly 10 percent chance of increased happiness, and a friend of that friend has a 5.6 percent increased chance. Apparently the effect can last up to a year, so it would definitely last through a football game. I'm just saying that maybe by penalizing celebrations, you are penalizing happiness and that could have a negative effect on their performance.

  1. I think that it should not be penalized. Give players freedom.

  2. This is very interesting. at the same time, there's a difference between being happy and being obnoxious. Some of TO and Ocho's celebrations crossed that line, while others were fine and should be allowed.
