Good lord what have we become.

I understand what you mean but I am here to tell you that this line of thinking is having way more harm than good. Every generation has its defining characteristics. The Millennial generation is a prime example. Previously the ideas of sportsmanship and fairplay were taught through self-sacrifice, hard work, determination etc that a child would get through sports.

Current ideas like not keeping score, excessive penalizing of embarrassing or unsportsmanlike acts, or give everyone a trophy are effectively killing competition. They also seem to have a created a generation of youths that feel a sense of entitlement in life and do not understand the when life is unfair.

In short the problem is not that the kid celebrated his victory over another. The problem is the desire to shield the other kids from his excellence for fear that they can not achieve it themselves.

i'm willing to bet the school has a strict rule for td celebrations, and this story just got the hits for mentioning cam newton.

there's a rule in place for sc hs football. certain factors determine the severity of the penalty.

a cam newton superman pose when the score is 50-0 will get you thrown out.

bottom line...don't do it.

Kid breaks rules and makes the game about himself = ok

Ref following protocol = making the game about himself & = wrong.

LOL at peoples "logic"

I think it should have only been a penalty honestly.

FWIW my son always does a little celebration after he scores in soccer, and so does the other striker....no one ever really says anything.

The ref didn't follow protocol though.... The ref went overboard. That's why people are saying he made it about himself. The penalty would have been fine; the ref made it about himself when he threw the kid out. The times they are a changing; get used to it.
