Derek Carr's $14,000 fine for using a vintage Michael Jackson dance move illustrates the NFL's struggle with humor and relevance in modern sports culture.
The NFL's enforcement of fines for dance moves reflects a disconnect between the league's image and evolving cultural expressions, especially as it embraces contemporary artists.
Carr's choice of a dated dance move during a pivotal game symbolizes his obliviousness to current trends but also emphasizes his authenticity and personal expression.
Despite the NFL's attempts to steer its image towards the contemporary pop culture scene, penalties for celebratory expressions reveal deeper issues within the league's governance.
