The kid could have been remembering a lost loved one, who knows?

And the loved one got remembered ONLY after a TD? How coincidental.

Like Hoot Gibson said, how come all of these praiseworthy and humble kids "just happen" to do so ONLY after TDs? It can't be that coincidental THAT many times. No way. No how.

It's a trend that started with NFL/college players and has filtered down. You don't have to draw attention to yourself to praise him or make the TD seem humble.

If you're going to perform this routine after a TD, you should be doing it when you fumble, get burned deep by a WR, miss a kick or get lit up as well.

But it NEVER happens. Watch a game - NFL, ncaa, prep, whatever - and see how many times you see the point to the sky after a TD compared to the 90 percent of the game that DIDN'T involve TDs. It's a startling statistic.

It's not just football. I've seen it with kids scoring goals in soccer, touching home plate after home runs in baseball and hitting clutch free throws in basketball.

But not once after they strike out, miss the soccer goal completely or brick a free throw? I guess they forget to praise God every single one of those times too?

God doesn't care if you score a TD or fumble the ball. And you shouldn't act like he deserves a public point-to-the-sky praise ONLY when you score a TD, either.
