Derek Carr faced a fine for imitating a Michael Jackson dance during a touchdown celebration, illustrating the NFL's ongoing scrutiny over player celebrations despite previous relaxations of its rules.
'People don't know a lot of stuff about me. ... Weddings or birthdays, I'm always dancing,' Carr stated, explaining the personal significance behind his touchdown dance.
While Carr was not flagged during the game, the current NFL rules allow for fines for unsportsmanlike conduct related to celebrations deemed 'sexually suggestive or offensive.'
Even with the NFL easing celebration rules, Carr's fine underscores the delicate balance players must navigate between self-expression and league regulations.
