reasons why celebrating is legit

It is true that football is a game, but it is also true that the NFL is an entertainment based league. In order for people to watch it, the games have to be fun to watch and one of the main contributing factors of the entertainment is seeing outlandish celebrations. On top of that we can all agree that football is an emotional sport. With all the high stakes, hard hitting and humongous intensity it is filled with anger, excitement and joy. When a player achieves his goal then there has to be away to express it, heir-go celebrating. Besides the fun and expressing aspect of it, there has also been studies done that can be linked to celebrating benefiting the team and the player's performance. There was a Harvard study done, where they 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 adrenaline of scoring a touchdown or making a big play, you see how it would have a positive effect on a team. If a player trots into the end zone and does a celebration then it is possible that this could enhance the emotion of their team mates and help them perform better.
