If you don't call these celebration penalties in football the games will go for 5 hours or more. After every tackle every a player will have his special dance or routine. Every guy will have his "gimmick" like a pro wrestler. In soccer you might get 1 goal like every 3 hours. The only celebrations I see in baseball are from closers and those take place after the game has ended. And a big reason basketball has taken a hit in popularity in recent years is because of the nature of its players and how the game has sunk to the gutter with that crap that takes place around the actual game itself.

In football you got Jarred Allen doing a dance routine after ever sack. You got Oddrick in Miami doing the pee-wee herman dance. You got Desean Jackson..nuff said. And every other diva WR with a routine. We could go on and on all day. The days of a guy scoring a TD and doing something are over. You got guys doing stuff on kickoff tackles, sacks, big plays, hell a guy could make a tackle 5 yards down field on a 2nd and 3 and he has a "celebration" of some sort. It is so out of hand.
