Re: "Take the loss like a man"
Because when the dance you're doing, the celebration you pick, is one that another player/team that you're playing that game is known for - more, when you pick it because the other player/team is known for it - you aren't just celebrating. You're giving a giant FU.
I think players celebrate excessively in general, but it's not taunting/rubbing it in, generally, no matter which team the player is on. It's only when the celebration is specifically chosen to rub it in to the opponent that it crosses into taunting.
I've asked this multiple times and never received a response other than something along the lines of shut the eff up:
Why is the Light's Out dance perfectly fine when Merriman does it, but a horrible thing when a Patriot does it? Why is the airplane some sort of fun, happy celebration when one player does it, but teasing when another player does the same thing?
It's either taunting in both cases, or a celebration in both cases. It's hypocritical to say otherwise.
