NFL Bans Dunking Celebration

By on March 25, 2014

One of the new rule changes by the “No Fun League” is the banning of players dunking on the field goal posts after a touchdown. The league states that it’s a safety issue, and they might not be far off in that claim.

Remember when Saints TE Jimmy Graham bent the field goal posts?

As reported in this video by WSJ Digital Network, only 3% of 2013 NFL celebrations were dunks on the field goal posts. So other than Jimmy Graham and the recently retired Tony Gonzalez, you might not even realize that dunk-celebrations have been removed.
