Kelce, who used to do a “bow and arrow” celebration for the duration of video games, said he disagrees with giving gamers consequences that without delay effect the game.I recognise we don’t want this to be like, ‘Oh, NFL gamers capturing weapons,’ – I get that. But this is so diffused. Unless you’re doing it at a defender, it shouldn’t be a flag,” Kelce said.

“If you need to pleasant the man after the sport for doing it, anything. That’s as much as the NFL for wanting to protect their league, however I suppose it’s definitely ridiculous that a man is on the ground shooting pointing hands for getting a first down, announcing, ‘We’re going that manner’ or anything he might be doing—I just assume it’s an excessive amount of, guy. It’s too much, and it’s affecting the sport within the incorrect manner.”Kansas City Chiefs tight stop Travis Kelce (87) celebrates a trap against Atlanta Falcons cornerback Mike Hughes (21) at some point of the second one half of an NFL soccer game, Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024, in Atlanta.

Lazard, 28, stated Wednesday that he expects to task what is going to possibly be a fine from the league, including that he hadn’t been “warned” towards that form of birthday party. “If I am, they’re absolutely going to exempt it, as it wouldn’t make experience to quality someone for some thing you in no way warned them [about]. It’s like imposing a brand new driving rule. If you’re riding down the street with simplest one hand, and you never told me that I can only power with palms, that is not a lawful democracy in that sense.”

Several NFL players have been fined this season for comparable celebrations throughout games.
