"Unsportsmanlike conduct number 21 of the defence took his helmet off
after scoring a touchdown."

WTF???

In American Football why aren't players allowed to celebrate scoring a
touchdown etc?

Why is it unsportsmanlike conduct to take off your helmet? I don't get
it.

The problem is not the celebration ... big strong football players may
want to take it out on a pompous ass ... after a mocking
celebration ... and have many LEGAL opportunities to do it ... and
most would say ... the clown deserved it ... so they put rules in
effect ... essential to save his ass from himself ... and to keep the
violence down ...
