Why do they keep doing this?

Barry Sanders would hold onto the ball until he handed it to a referee. No showboating, no dancing, just hand it over and go back and patiently wait until he could do it again. These morons are entertainers not athletes

Why do people still watch that garbage is a better question

Touchdown - Doesn't touch the ball down. Football - Ball makes almost no contact with the foot. Confusing.

They play a sport, no one said they were intelligent……

Having the IQ of a ham sandwich is a contributing factor.

Dopamine and anticipation. The anticipation triggers a dopamine surge, creating a feeling of pleasure or excitement just before the achievement; his brain experienced the reward before crossing the goal line. In his mind, the touchdown is already a reality and this phenomenon renders the individual for but a moment, an idiot.

Arrogance and lack of discipline

Maybe someone made them an offer they couldn’t refuse?

It's because it's rigged and they are helping the casinos because the house never loses!

the NFL is no longer a sport it’s a multinational business. it’s staged, and has been controlled as a mouth piece for population control agenda.

Because I.Q.

Showboating! Bring back the Barry Sanders mentality!

Because they are stupid, arrogant dumbfucks that care more about showboating than discipline. If I were a coach, I would fine anyone who dropped a ball prior to being halfway to the end line.

Bookies text them before the play

Have to make that Vegas spread, that's why.

You can learn about this phenomenon from watching that great '90s flick "White Men Can't Jump." White dudes prioritize scoring. Black dudes prioritize style.

because these young bucks never used these bad boys:

Because the spread and the over/under duh

And then they do their stupid ass dance routines to celebrate. Just cross the line and hand the ball to the ref. We came to watch a game, not a show.

Because it’s become cooler show up your opponent and do stupid dances than to just score an NFL TD. And, organizations are unwilling to send players that do these stupid things packing.

Either they’re not real smart or they’re throwing the game. 👀

Cuz football is rigged like everything else

It’s a touchdown before the the cameras ruined the NFL

Watch the betting patterns. This happened kind of inexplicable error happened in soccer, rugby and cricket. It was traced to Indian betting syndicates getting players to throw a golden moment.

Show boaters celebrating chickens before they hatch.

Because everybody has to be a big show-off today. My father was a successful coach for years, he never chose show-offs for his teams no matter how talented they were. He won many championships with "inferior" players, that played well, followed instructions, and were modest. The other team was always treated with respect, especially when they lost.

Barry Sanders never did that because when he got into the end zone, he tossed the ball to the referee. Emmitt Smith never did that because every time he scored, he kept the football.

Showing off. Cocky. No situational awareness. Not sure what to call it, but they should stop doing that.

Same reason some dudes prematurely ejaculate.

The ego. Period.
