Celebration After Touchdown

Blog 8
A high school student from a small school in the state of Washington was penalized for kneeling to the ground and pointing to the sky. It may have taken but a second and the ref threw a flag. The ref said he was drawing attention to himself and you're not supposed to do that. The boy simply said he wasn't trying to show off or bring attention to himself he was just simply thanking God. In the NFL people have been started to get fined for many reasons and players are getting sick of it. Many plaers do a dance or point to the sky. Some have used props and have been fined for doing so. I know of kids that have been cocky and flaunted before but there is a difference. If someone wants to simply kneel and point to the sky znd have it not be a big deal then fine, but if someone was to spike the ball or do some other obsence gesture then I think they deserve to be penalized. After the young man got penalized, the fans went crazy and started to yell and yell at the ref. I feel that the NFL and many other sports are getting to serious with some things. They clearly haven't drawn the line well enough on some things. For instance, last week 2 players got into a fist fight on the field and each was fined $25,000. A few weeks before that a player accidentaly went helmet to helmet with another player and was fined $50,000. I feel this to be really unfair. I think that people need to start letting the game be played like it was back in the day and many other people would watch. It's insane to watch it now because there is so many things going on that people get in trouble for that no one is the good guy. You can't find one NFL player that is a real role model because they somehow all get in trouble. I just can't stand what is happening to the game and how people get fined for things that are stupid and childish, and those who get in trouble for pointing to the sky.
