The refs are just enforcing Goodell's moronic set of rules. I don't blame them for that.
But the NFL needs to deal with this really delicately. Goodell needs to apologize and say that the flag was thrown in error. It was the wrong call since the NFL has allowed celebrations of religious expression. It looks terrible on the league if they claim that's only allowed for one religion.
But they won't because Goodell will never admit he's wrong and he'll have to renege on his dumb idea that enforcing touchdown celebrations is a critical NFL initiative. So he'll make up some hocus pocus about sliding.
