The NFL isn’t the only one tired of Antonio Brown and his touchdown celebrations. While the game is supposed to be fun, many see that the NFL unofficially stands for “No Fun League.”
With the league cracking down on any semblance of fun and personality in the game, one penalty that has been enforced heavily is that for excessive celebration. This is something Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers know all too much about (more on that here).
Ben Roethlisberger talked about this on his weekly radio show this week, noting the team is getting hurt while Brown has his fun.
“He knows, we all know, Coach Tomlin brought it up yesterday, that is a huge penalty and we can’t do that…We put our kick coverage team in a bad situation and we can’t have that, and AB knows that.”
Brown has never been one to shy away from celebrations, but there is no doubt his celebrations have hurt his team. With the Steelers in the playoff hunt, it is most definitely time for Brown to change his tactics.
