Football Player's Funny Celebration Fail

Florida player hits LSU punt returner hard, then gets hit even harder by his UF teammate (VIDEO)
One of the top rules of football celebrations should be that you never hit your teammate harder than he just hit the opponent.
Florida's Loucheiz Purifoy was excited about the big hit he made on LSU punt returner Odell Beckham Jr. That is, until he was gesturing to the crowd with his back turned to the field and he got blasted by Matt Elam. Elam happens to be Purifoy's teammate.

Purifoy tumbled to the ground, and seemed ready to fight Elam when he realized it was his own teammate that cracked him in the back and sent him sprawling. It was a legitimately hard hit and a truly awkward moment. Gonna need to work on those celebrations, Florida.

A Florida Gator who is reveling in a pretty good tackle is about to be on the wrong end of a better one. Watch

If you watch closely this is a great example of enforced team leadership. If Purifoy had begun gesturing to the crowd it would have resulted in a 15 yard taunting penalty negating the great play he just made. Watch Elam shaking his head after knocking him down.

He's just saying, "That's not how you make a big hit. THIS is how you do it!"
