Why is it a penalty for a football player to remove his helmet after the play is over?

This is known as the Emmitt Smith rule. He was fond of taking his helmet off after scoring a touchdown to rile up (or taunt) the crowd...and perhaps for better photo opportunities. The league considered this to be too much showmanship and created a rule that no player is allowed to remove his helmet on the field during the game (except during timeouts and between quarters). There is no penalty if a helmet comes off accidentally.
