PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- Several Oregon players are facing team discipline after celebrating their Rose Bowl win Thursday night by mocking Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston and allegations of sexual assault that have followed the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner the past two years. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/0...n_6405182.html
This is what you call a witch hunt. |
Is there a requirement to shake hands after a football game? I know every has to in little league baseball, but they don't in the majors, so there's no set rule on it to say the least. In wrestling it's a well know suggestion to be there to shake hands and have the winner's hand then raised by the official. And occasionally I've seen a depressed football player stay on the bench to ponder life as the others smile a kiss at the 50 - yet they remain employed.
And I only ask because I've never been to thrilled to watch our Chiefs get their asses kicked then be Mr. Nice Guy afterwards. Poor sport?? Perhaps, but I'm not sure a DE should want to shake hands with a guy who just held him for 10+ plays "and now all is forgotten"!
So, whatever these guys are being accused of happens everyday in baseball, so the question needs to be asked, is it really all that bad?
And last, if all this post-game love is needed perhaps the officials should refrain from running to their locker room and mill around smartly amongst the varying levels of players and team leadership and squeeze some skin.
I'm not offended, these guys don't need to shake hands for me to like them, and if they don't shake hands I'm fine with it... If one player is offended by it, if they meet again, hit them all the harder on the field and tell them they'd have gone easy on them but "you didn't shake my hand last year"!!!
