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.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
