CFL alters celebration rule after Gott beer chug, prohibiting alcohol, drugs
TORONTO — The CFL wants to make sure Jon Gott’s beer-chugging touchdown celebration doesn’t become a regular occurrence.
While the Ottawa Redblacks offensive lineman wasn’t fined by the league after grabbing a beer from his girlfriend and chugging it last Friday night in the aftermath of a touchdown against the Toronto Argos, the league revised its celebration policy on Monday.
The new policy prohibits “the use of alcohol or drugs and the mimicking of the use of alcohol or drugs.”
“When a player celebrated a touchdown this weekend by drinking a fan’s beer, he was acting within that policy and no discipline was mandated,” the statement says.
