Referees in District 3 need to get real. Any hint of a celebration is unsportsmanlike conduct. It's ridiculous. I see it week after week. Football is supposed to be fun.
It is not only District 3, but it was called against Highland on Back to back touchdowns and I didn't even see what happened. The way the rule is called is completely ridiculous, and to me it was very subjective. Things like this is what turns people OFF to football.... #BIASED
I agree, the rule should be somewhere between what it is now and no flag all star game rules.
Football in general is going downhill. The NFL with the stupid new body weight issue. Just a big mess all around.
Is football a TEAM game? Then the only celebration that should be taking place is TEAM celebration. Anything else is SELF/ ISH aggrandizement !
I disagree. If I make a play that helps the team, I’m going to be excited and some of my passion may come out. Are we robots?
HEY LOOK AT ME AND WHAT I JUST DID! Forget about the great blocking that sprung me for MY TD run. Or the great pass protection to give the QB time to make the throw that allowed you to make that TD catch! Its this me me me society thats ruining our country! TEAM CELEBRATION ONLY! Conceit does not belong in the game!
@bngsharp If the gesture isn't directed at the opposing team or the fans there shouldn't be anything wrong with it... Some Highland players came onto the field at the 30 yard line no where close to the other team strictly a celebration and quickly got back a flag??? to me that is taking too much emotion out of the game. Also when I got home and watched the Century touch downs and saw the same thing - no flag - I know the Refs can not see everything, But to a fan how that was called is VERY SUBJECTIVE. It would be terrible is that actually decided a game!
Honestly, if it's not directed at the other team, it should be legal. The jumping up and clapping at someone in their face for a flag being thrown is BS, but a guy spiking the ball for scoring a TD for his only time in his life should not....
This was also Stolen from Mike Lycklama. OK I am a Highland fan and wear the red and black, so this video is not of a Highland game and I could have cared less about who wins this game... It is penalties like this that are upsetting and ruin the game.... This is too much - you can not completely take emotion out of football, nor should you try! This penalty was ridiculous! https://twitter.com/michaellycklama/status/1058532166177456128
