When and why....

Developing story: Curmudgeonly football fans irate that players are having fun.

It's not "having fun"; it's displaying poor sportsmanship if the game is still in doubt.

Sportsmanship is old guy code for not liking that young people are doing something different than he did when he was a kid.

because playing in an empty stadium is so stimulating.........it's the only thing the players have.......people need to get over really insignificant things

next thing you know, someone is going to complain about Cam's hats

I have no problem with it from a sportsmanship angle, but you sure do look silly doing it down 24-10 in a game where you eventually give up 38. It reminds me of DBs who pound their chests when they make a nice tackle after they've given up an 18 yard reception.

I realize that I am an old school guy who prefers players to act like they have been there when they perform well. Whatever. When they start posing is when I can grab a snack or a beverage. Meh. I would prefer it didn't happen, but I really could care less at this point when it does.

this is sportsmanship for you

I don’t care if another team does it...in fact I hope they do.

Of fools? Why should we?

That’s how these young guys are now.

Different doesn't mean better.

No issue with these celebrations. They took away fans from most of the stadiums so let them have fun posing on a screen together instead of interacting with the fans.
