"This happens in the Super Bowl and all of a sudden we're back to the NoFunLeague," one person wrote. "Fans are gonna be screaming 'You've gotta be kidding me!' at their TVs all year long (or at least as long as they actually tightly enforce this)."

One social media user argued: "I'm ok with this. Taunting is pathetic. It's one thing to celebrate making a great play. Taunting is completely unnecessary, but also stupid because the next play might go the other team's way."

A person wrote: "Oh come on, this is all in the spirit of the game. If you don't want the other team to celebrate or 'taunt' then stop them. Plain and simple. I feel bad for the kids you coach cus it seems like all you're teaching them is to complain. That's weak."

And this fan asked: "What I want to know is why this an issue , who complains about this for the NFL to make and enforce a rule like this. Are there parents of players that complain and should every player get a mini Lombardi trophy. Not F-ing Likely. Karen will not be in the top 10 names forever.
