High School Player Flagged For Touchdown Nod to God

Actually, many media outlets -- outside of the homer rah-rah weeklies, anyway -- remove references to God when someone, usually the winner or someone who came up with a great play, mentions him.

For the EXACT reason I mentioned above. If you're not going to bring him up when you make a mistake or get whitewashed by 40+ points, don't mention him when you win.

Because once again, you're making it a point to bring him up at a specific time instead of ... all the time.

I don't want to get into what deserves a flag or whatnot, but whether the kid stop and points to the sky or stops and gives the slashed throat gesture ... he's still making a specific gesture. Obviously pointing to God isn't taunting/sportsmanship, but it's still a "look at what I'm doing" gesture.

It's perfectly OK to score a touchdown and NOT point toward the sky. Happens all the time, in fact.
