MY TAKE:
A true sportsman doesn't make any unusual display after scoring - because he expects to score and because any display would be unsportsmanlike - no matter whether it's a dance or a simple humble bow-down to the Creator.
That's why I'd like to see all such displays penalized and I'd like to return to sportsmanship - no fist-pumping, no spiking, no nothing.
Barry Sanders never celebrated after a score. He simply handed the ball to the ref and trotted off to the sidelines. He was a class act.
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY.
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY.
I agree with no celebrating. However, the other players who do the "Tebow", like the one in the clip, are actually mocking him.
ReplyDeleteThey're jealous of him.
ReplyDeleteThere are other players who do the same kind of thing he does. But, no one mocks the other players.
