N/S: High School Player Penalized (1 Viewer)

[MVCrook]

for taking a knee and pointing upwards after a TD. This just struck me as odd, to say the least. I mean, maybe he's a very religious young man or he's dedicating his play to a lost loved one. Either way, there's a lot worse he could have done after a TD. I wonder if the ref has given his reasoning. Anyway, just thought I'd share and get opinions from y'all.

Kinda silly if you ask me. He wasn't showing off or taunting the other team.

That would be like throwing an unportsmanlike conduct penalty on Colston for pointing at the sky in honor of his father that passed away when he scores.

 

[bergeaux]

Ridiculous.

 

[Saints 4 life]

Weak.

I'm pretty sure that's Denise Milani.

Am I mistaken to say that the NFL/College have a rule that players can't do any celebrating from their knees? I think if he had just pointed up, without the kneel he'd have been fine.

Frankly, I think if you score a touchdown, you should get 5 seconds to do whatever the heck you want. Be a clown, do anything, stand on a Dallas' star.. it's all cool. You earned it.

Sure seems like her.

By thanking God, this player is telling the other team that God hates them, because he alone willed this player into the endzone.

Therefore the player's action is acutally taunting the forsaken team by pointing out that they are not graced with God's love. Good call by the refs - no need to flaunt one's favor over another.
