Original: NFL, NFLPA say celebrations 'imitating drinking a beverage' will not be punished https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/766946
The NFL and the NFLPA have confirmed that touchdown celebrations in which players imitate drinking a beverage will not draw fines or penalties. The clarification resolves uncertainty around what had been a gray area of the league's celebration rules, and players and fans welcomed the more permissive approach to sideline-style fun after scoring plays.
Why now: The league and players' union jointly clarified celebration rules, settling a point of confusion for players and fans.
