@stevemagness #4 I feel strongly is happening with so many phenoms appearing seemingly out of thin air—along with the shoes. To me, this is what “trackflation” is.
@DSS123 The problem is his first actions were said to be wrong when he did celebrate after crossing the line, and that was milder than the second action, which I didn’t think was much. I think the ruling will be overturned, especially if others weren’t DQed.
@stevemagness I mentioned #1 in an online conference a few years back during Covid and a well known coach came at me about it. He was ego-driven for sure. It’s usually too many kids for a handful of coaches. You MUST train them to lead themselves and others.
@DSS123@stevemagness For all intents and purposes, itwas over bc they weren’t catching him. The official went beyond the spirit of the rule, which doesn’t say no celebrating. Her staying that means nothing if it’s not in writing. People “warning” beforehand means nothing if it’s not in the rulebook.
@DSS123@stevemagness Celebrating doesn’t have to be about others. As the rule state, if it’s not directed toward anyone, what’s the issue? Clearly, many aren’t grasping the spirit of the rule. It’s not about the celebration; it’s about “derogatory or dishonorable” acts, which this was not.
@Jonathanbstan@DaShawnWSOC9 The decision undermines the spirit of the rule. What he did is not the basis for that rule. Had he turned and looked at his competitors and made a gesture, which the rule states it should be clear that it was toward someone, the DQ would make sense.
@HereWeR69 @OfficialSayyeau @3jaburns@TorreySmithWR Who did he taunt? Based in the rule, the officials have to prove it was directed toward someone. The whole issue is officials are undermining the spirit of the rule AND they’re inconsistent.
