Sports today suck. What was that story about the kid in a championship game getting suspended getting a TD called back cause he raised his hand in the air? It's a game! Let people have fun.

It's a good thing I was never good at sports, because I would have celebrated every TD or point with extreme enthusiasm. That's what makes it fun

When I was in HS in the 70s we could and did celebrate each TD with extreme enthusiasm. No one worried about hurting somone elses feelings. Afterall, life brings successes and hard knocks. We were expected to learn to deal with both.

hasn't Political Correctness been carried a little to far. It's getting to the point where every word is going to become a letter word. F-word, R-word, N-word. making any expression of religion is a no-no, unless its Islam. the House of Representatives can't even say Merry Christmas or Happy New Year in franked mail http://campaign2012.washingtonexamin...as-mail/261466. little kids being suspended for kicking bullies in the cajones to keep from being beat up. teachers taking "now we don our gay apparal (sic)" out of the song and replacing it with something like festive apparal. I for one am sick of it and see no good from it. When I played sports in the 70's coaches would do things like give your butt a kick into the line to make you block better, put on a helmet and run into the line to get you to tackle, things that would get them fired now. Now its don't offend anyone. Everyone has their opinion and this is mine

Its funny but I do not feel any threat from the PC Police. As a law enforcement officer, this post surprises me and makes me wonder if it would be safe to re-enter the USA at Port Huron. Just joking, with more and more diversity things do change. Its not the safe Eisenhauer years(1950's) that I grew up nor is it the 1970's. It is now 2000 plus 12. Merry Christmas one and all.

I think you have some good points. I do believe that some things that happened 30-40 years ago shouldn't have happened, but I also think a lot of things have been taken too far contemporarily as well. Once again, football is a game; let kids have fun.

Adults as well, actually. It's a joke that the NFL has strict rules on celebrations. These adults are getting paid millions of dollars to play a game but they can't have fun in the end-zone after scoring anymore? It reeks of racial undertones, but I don't want to open up that can of worms. I will just say that Al Michaels' sermon on celebrations that he delivered at halftime of a Sunday Night Football game a couple of weeks ago was one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen on television, and I am an avid Jersey Shore watcher. He used NFL celebrations as an indicator of the erosion of our society. Just absolutely sanctimonious.

They told them to quit doing it, I don't think it has anything to do with political correctness or religion. If you did that at Rapid City Central you could cause a riot.

Re: Tebowing Draws Suspensions in High School

The were just having fun. I mean come on, they were recognizing a football star. At MHS stuff like that isn't even a problem. We do a bunch of junk like.

Re: Tebowing Draws Suspensions in High School

I hate how guys celebrate in the nfl. I am all for guys jumping around with team mates high fives chest bumps etc. All the stupid dancing and showboating and talkin trash to the other team sfter you score. Act like you have scored a td before and that you will do it again. The simplier the less you draw attention to it the more classy it is a celebration imo. Trash talkin that goes on in sports is awful. Its not effective and makes um look like a jerk.

Its refreshing in football the two biggest stories are tebow and rodgers packers. Positive stories for once imo.

Yep that's why I said it was imo. I guess I am more impressed with the play on the field not all the crap they say or how dumb they act.

Re: Tebowing Draws Suspensions in High School

They do need a wake up call. I don't mind the celebrating..and some of the stupid dance moves are amusing, but the trash talk does need to stop. How bout someone helping an opponent up off the ground.

I think rules governing celebrations has more to do with maturity and good sportsmanship than race....JMO

my high school coach (with his career record couldn't argue his thinking) told us not to help the opponent up because it made you use up your energy lifting the guy then he expended helping himself get up. if the guy was smart he would let you do all the work. also because on the field you are opponents not friends. the only time you look at him is to knock him on his butt. at the end of the game you give em a handshake and tell em great game.
