... And why is celebrating making a great play reprehensible? Stanford's guys do it...

Nothing reprehensible about celebrating a great play.  However, some "celebrations" are of the "you can't spell T-E-A-M without M-E" or "my teammates couldn't do it without me" variety, while others are more of the "there's no 'I' in team" or "I couldn't do it without my teammates" variety.  I don't think it's hypocritical, pearl-clutching, or "seriously problematic" to prefer the latter over the former.  And, as for making kids smile, that's great; but I admire the players who do that in private just as much as [or even more than] those who do it on national TV when they know the spotlight is on them.
