This is why the NFL cracks down on "excessive celebrations"
They were afraid of this making it's way into the games:
In a sport where they only score on average once every nine games, they should get to excessively celebrate. If I followed that 'sport' I'd arrange a pot luck dinner for each score.

I enjoy soccer, and any sport were to score is a meaningful event. Don't care much for basketball where they score every blink of an eye.
It's the quality of the activity that's the key. All-dunk basket ball is pretty dull, but a good game of b-ball has myriad ways of scoring and myriad ways of defending various player that's interesting and exciting. I'm certain there are all sorts of subtleties in soccer whereby an aficionado gets pumped by various trips up and down the field where a advancing dribbler is stopped and then stopped again and again. There are also some really exciting kicks that fly out of bounds, leading to exciting two hand over the head toss ins and some player positioning and genital protection strategies that increase the entertainment level as well.
Grit those teeth! Gosh, that's exciting!!!

None of which work, apparently, based on the frequency of scoring in a typical game!
In b-ball the difference between a good defense and a lousy defense is giving up 70-80 points versus 100-110 points. In football, it's the difference between allowing 280 yards and 579.
