Crackdown? Is kids being stupid a crackdown? The gesture says "look at me, look at me", there is no "me" in team. There are 10 other guys there somewhere that helped "me". Good rule. Enforced correctly.

Didnt say it was bad...but a crackdown nonetheless...what was acceptable in the past is no longer tolerated....but it should be consistent across the board.

Wow I can't believe that was an unsportsman like conduct flag.  All he did was raise his hand.  It wasn't like he was taunting the other player or did some kind of stupid dance in the end zone or spike the ball.  He simply raised his hand as he was racing to the end zone.
[/quote]I agree... That call was about a bad as the call against Jonathon Gray!  Kid got excited... Never won a State Championship and got over joyed w/ victory at hand.  I see nothing wrong with that play. To me he was saying "WE DID IT"!  That simple!

I don't think a game should be decided by that at all. It very well could have been innocent. If anything the penalty should be assessed on the kick off. To take away a touchdown especially in a close game is a little ridiculous. Society desperately needs to change.

It seems to happen to players on an unopposed run to the end zone.  For a high school kid, it IS exciting.  Just like it is exciting to drop a QB for a loss, or get a touchdown saving tackle.  Those however, are ralrely, if ever, flagged, and to me, a big ol' bubba flexing his muscles in your face is more of a taunt than a high step, or a raised fist. 

Inconsistency is the rule.  Inconsistent application of the rules.  Let's be honest, while these flags are all "letter of the law" type things, do they fulfill the spirit of the law?  Why were the penalties introduced to begin with?  Because you had game wasting showboating going on in the end zone, or running around wasting time off the clock before you scored.  In both Gray's case, and this one, they are running for the end zoneand neither of the actions takes any more time off the clock. 

What is going to happen is one of 2 things...

A redifinition of the taunting rule to actually include interacton with the other team, like turning around, or crossing the line and then getting in the opponents face; or...

A complete and utter crushing of the spirit that is football.  We will have robots instead of players.  Maybe that's what we want.  People with no emotion.  What next?  Flag the cheerleaders because their skirts are too short?  Flag the mascot for too much exuberance?  Flag the PN-G Indians for not taking a knee?  Can you see how ridiculous it gets?

Celebrating a TD in high school football in Texas has not been tolerated for a long time.  If refs are not enforcing the rule across the board, that needs to be handled by their governing authority.  But, kids don't need to be doing that garbage.  Period.

You mean to tell me that you have NEVER seen a player do a chest bump with his team mates after one of them scores a TD?  I have seen it plenty of times in HS by many different teams and have NEVER EVER seen a flag thrown.  How is that any different than a player raising his hand while running for a TD?  It isn't in my book and if this is a flag then a whole lot of flags need to be thrown right here in SE Texas every Friday night during football season.

Bravo, bravo...I bet all the holier than thous would get up in arms if there was a flag thrown on a kid from their team.  Do as I say, not as I do...

I don't care where it happens or on what level. I think the monitoring of celebrations in exciting competitive events is retarded. I don't care if they take their helmet off or do a hula dance. I honestly don't care if they taunt. If you get your feelings hurt over some trash talk, then get out of the game. Sure - strong programs leave the silly crap for the loud mouths. But I think that is up to the coach, not the officials and it has gotten way out of hand. If a celebration actually delays the game or causes injury, then there are penalties for that. Excessive celebration as a penalty is stupid on face.

I  think the difference is live ball. If you got time to chest bump, raise your fist, or whatever during the time the ball is in play, then your not doing your job as a member of that team. When the ball is dead the chest bumping is not flagged most of the time. This kid as well as Grey are both doing these things(taunting) during a live ball. Against the rules period. JMO

Bottom line, this is a rule wether we like it or not. Is it petty, probably so but a rule none the less. Coaches need to educate thier players on the rules and stress the importance of folowing them wether they agree with them or not. And invictus, celebrating a touchdown on your birthday to win a championship is hardly garbage.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
