Kansas City Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah praying penalty questioned

[PATS16N0]

I'm betting the officials just didn't realize what they were seeing and mistook it for an over the top taunt.

Just checked The Style Manual and 'nekkid' is the proper spelling in this context. A+

I'm an expert on nekkid!

Yeah, I'm pretty much as far to the left as you can go politics-wise and I don't think this was a big deal by any means. The officials saw him slide and flagged him, Abdullah didn't make a big deal out of it, either, and the NFL did the right thing and acknowledged that he shouldn't have been penalized. Nothing to see here. For once, something the NFL handled well.

Now, the real question is why "going to ground" for a celebration is a penalty at all.

Thankyou brother mgteich for your comments and for those who are not aware , my Country the Kingdom of Bahrain is the home for the US 5TH FLEET. The Navy call Bahrain home,,they love working and living here. We have 2 Pastors inside the Base with their Church. Bahrain is the US oldest Ally since the First World War. Again thankyou and to brother shmessy. We may be thousand of miles apart but we share the same love and passion for our Team in Boston. I have been a die hard fan since 1985 , and Irving Fryar was my favorite player than. I just cant understand how Solder has regressed so badly. Oh well on to Sunday where the Whole World will be watching how The New England Patriots will respond. Good luck and GO PATS.

I don't think the official should get any negative attention for the penalty. He didn't know what was happening, and tried to follow the rule the best he could. Inform the officials, give them specific instructions on what to do next time, issue an apology and move on.
