Celebrate Your Score (or Not?)
by Jean Gaetan
Celebrate! Celebrate! Dance to the music! Just don't do it in the end zone after you score. Or, maybe you should. Hmmm... errh? That conundrum is at the heart of a mild debate that's occurring within the culture of Ultimate.

But it has been known to generate some... shall we say, spirited discussions on occasion.
