Looks like the NFL is finally getting to be more like a fun league for players and fans. Rules are there to make sure the games are played fair and square. But some rules are just plain unnecessary. In a league that's full of all sorts of rules, some of them even borderline ridiculous, the NFL has decided to change some them in order to make the game a little more fun for the players and for the fans to enjoy game even more.

During the NFL's annual meetings at the Combine, the league's competition committee talked about the rules on celebrations after touchdowns and it looks like changes are coming for next season, according to a report from USA Today. Players are penalized and fined by the NFL for excessive celebrations after a scoring touchdown.

A total of thirty celebration or demonstration penalties were called by the NFL last season. The past two seasons only a total of twenty nine penalties combined were called.

The significant jump in celebration penalties called brought in a lot of complaints from players and fans last season, with some of them even calling the NFL a "No Fun League". The complaints prompted the NFL to discuss the celebration rules at the Combine.

With a sudden rise in unnecessary antics and celebrations by players, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear that the emphasis last season would be the unsportsmanlike conduct of the players. Two such actions, the mimicking of weapons or sex acts and unnecessary touchdown celebrations, were the NFL's main point of emphasis.

The NFL's orders, unfortunately, put more pressure on their referees. In an effort to reduce the rise in touchdown celebrations, the referees, over-enforced on calling the violations.

As a result of the referees calling a lot of violations, players started complaining even more. Even referees are starting to complain to the NFL about players complaining about the referees' calls, via a report from NBC Sports.
