The NFL has been viewed as the "No Fun League" by many fans and players due to the fact that players aren't allowed to celebrate after scoring touchdowns.

Tuesday, Roger Goodell took a step in the right direction as far as fun goes as announced changes to the league's celebration policy.

Following conversations with dozens of players, we’re making changes to our celebrations policy: https://t.co/1NLdEJjsGD

The link in Goodell's tweet has demonstrations of all three celebrations that are now allowed, but we're going to provide examples of our own for you because we want to maximize the fun:

Snow Angel

Group Celebration

Ball As Prop

There are some things not allowed, though, and USA Today Sports' Tom Pelissero outlined what players can't do after a TD.

Prolonged acts, miming weapons, offensive gestures, sexually suggestive stuff still expected to be banned. That includes twerking. Sorry, AB

So, if you're anyone other than Von Miller and Antonio Brown, you're good.

After the announcement, fans shared their happiness with celebration GIFs of course.
