We Need to Talk about Over-Celebrating

[SBD Gonzalez]

Why though? Sports is much more entertaining when players are allowed to show some personality and character, would you rather they all be boring individuals who just go "Yeah nah team did it's job, was good to see the boys get around it" in every post game interview?

My personal preference would be for players to celebrate goals theatrically and exuberantly, and on the other hand for broadcasters to completely get rid of interviewing players straight after a game. Boy, how to shatter the mystique! (I know, I know - “mystique” in the age of social media - LOL what am I - 200 years old?)

Honestly don’t think I’ve ever heard a sweating, puffing player say one remotely interesting thing when they have a mic stuck in their face.
