Snow angels are back in, but twerking is still out.
The NFL will now allow players to celebrate after touchdowns by using the football as a prop, celebrating on the ground and group celebrations.
In a statement signed by NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell on Tuesday, the League announced celebration rules will be relaxed next season after consulting with many current and former players.
Goodell wrote offensive actions, prolonged celebrations that delay the game and celebrations directed at opponents will still be penalized.
“We know that you love the spontaneous displays of emotion that come after a spectacular touchdown,” Goodell wrote in the statement. “And players have told us they want more freedom to be able to express themselves and celebrate their athletic achievements.”
