Re: And now, Allen (ESPN) says LT is very right
In one way it's better that people of this perverse mentality show their 'true colors' in public (so we can acknowledge them for what they truly are).
It's astounding, illogical, and absolutely crazy to place blame on anyone other than the originating party (Merriman) for the simple animation of the same corrupt ritual that Merriman himself displays, with relish, upon his individual successes.
To label 'it' as disrespect, because it was performed by 'the opposition' in the originator's 'house' is a classic example of 'gang mentality'. It's classless and absolute stupidity to allege that 'respect' of this nature is part of the game.
Respect is to be honored by honor, esteem, consideration, and appreciation. It has nothing to do with ritual behavior (like celebration animations) which are characterized by the presence of established procedure or routine. If SD, LT, et. al. are inflamed because we bastardized their ritual behavior, then who cares.
It's ridiculous to even have to defend yourself, and akin to having to respond to a child who is screaming because you inadvertently picked up an object they have perceived ownership of.
