News broke yesterday via NFL executive V.P. of football operations Troy Vincent that the league is working to develop a video that will better explain what is and isn’t acceptable in terms of celebrations.
We’re developing an educational training video for players to show clear examples of appropriate and inappropriate celebrations. pic.twitter.com/3yzBxAaQuk

Here’s a bit of an explanation on exactly what the intentions may be with this endeavor.
If you’re thinking why in the world would they waste their time and resources on something as trivial as celebrations?, then you’re not alone.
Here’s a snippet of what outspoken Green Bay Packers tight end Martellus Bennett had to say on Twitter about the idea.
“An educational training video on celebrations? Spend that money on something else like a video on investments or something that will help the players. Who gives a s–t what guys do when they celebrate. Do something impactful. Y’all wasting guys time with this s–t. Let the players express their individuality and creativity. Y’all gonna make an educational video on how we should talk next?”
Tell us how you really feel.
Seems like the disconnect between the league and its constituents is only growing, as the “No Fun League” mantra is merely confirmed by this ridiculousness.
