Touchdown celebrations are unusual and often humorous acts that American football players may do after scoring a touchdown. In the NFL: Taunting and extreme celebration are both offenses in the NFL; as a result, gaudy displays are often frowned upon. If the league views the act as highly offensive, large fines and even suspensions can be issued. In 2006 the NFL, in an effort to cut down on celebrations, amended its rules to include an automatic 15 yard penalty against any player who leaves his feet or uses a prop, like a towel, or more specifically the football. An exception is made for players doing a Lambeau Leap.
