Many times I just feel like it's older/traditionalist type of people who don't like the "new school" style of game/attitude out of players. They just want it to be so plain and boring. Hit a home run,put your bat down beside you,and run the bases. Score a touchdown, hand the ref the ball back,and go to your bench. Score a goal, skate back to your bench and sit down. Any kind of celebration,and suddenly the other team takes offense to it,and fans/media go crazy and bash it. Ya, that's what sports needs, lets just make these players abunch of emotionless robots who don't have any sort of excitement towards a big moment in a game or season.

Let em celebrate. The NBA lets their players celebrate, as does the NHL. Baseball and Football are the worst with this. Bat flips are awesome, TD celebrations are awesome. If you don't like it then don't let it happen.

It has literally gotten to the point where if you are in a Madden league people get bent out fo shape if you dive in to the endzone. I was always taught if you don't like it then stop it.

NHL guys can celebrate, but some teams still don't like when some guys do stuff.

Some are trying to turn it into a race thing because of the guys who are criticized for doing it. NFL with Cam Newton(if Tom Brady did the same thing,would people be bashing him?) and NHL with PK Subban(if Ovechkin did it,people would probably find it funny)

PK gets criticized for celebrating at times,more than someone like Ovechkin:

I can relate...I just recently had a pretty solid week in my Monday league. Shot 789. Had the front 11 in the first game, came up light and finished with 298. Second game I had the front 10 and left a wobbly-*** 10 pin on a beautiful shot, finished with 289. Then I calmed way down and had a 202 in game 3. Like you, I should be happy, but that's like 3 shots away from a couple of 300s.

Is this a salary or pay by hour position? If by the hour, what a moron that third person is. I get paid by the hour at my job. I love when my hours get increased for various reasons because that means bigger paychecks and more money coming home with me than normal.

However, even if she's salary, up and completely quitting a job because heaven forbid you have to be an above and beyond the duty employee and work more hours than normal for a couple weeks, you don't bloody quit. You suck it up and help out until the positions get filled.

Someone pulls crap like that, they can forget me ever giving them a positive reference on any future job applications. I'd be telling it like it is to that prospective employer and let them decide if that kind of crap is what they want to put up with in an employee. Regardless of how model an employee you were, you pull a crap stunt and burn the bridges like that, you can expect no favors in regards to favorable references in the future.

Oh yeah? Well on our Tuesday league, my second game was a 95. I have absolutely no idea when the last time I threw under 100 was before that. Came back with a 178 and 171 though.
