Flip, Flop, Flippy to the Floppy
I know, I know I'm not sticking to my side and converting over to pro-celebration, but after reading a couple blogs about the psychological benefits of releasing emotions through celebrating I have changed my mind. The main reason for my switcharoo is because of a Harvard study that was done for over 20 years. It looked at the happiness of 5,000 people and they found that when one person is happy it can trigger a chain reaction among their friends and family, causing them to be happy. Now, if you apply this same idea to the excitement and pumped-ness of scoring a touchdown or making a big play, you can see how it would have a positive effect on a team. If a player trots into the end zone and does a little jig then it is possible that this could enhance the emotion of their team mates and help them perform better.

But why does this have to be banned? Does the league consider this to be a sort of an advantage?
ReplyDeleteI agree that celebrating and being happy is a good thing, but there are some celebrations that took it too far, like signing the football and throwing it into the stands.
