It’s because our society devolves; it doesn’t evolve. As we have moved through time, even though knowledge and technology have increased, there has been a steady process of degeneration in our culture and morality and the minds and hearts of the people.

Absolutely. I call it de-evolution. It's real. I would add that the behavior of the PLAYERS also illustrated this fact. They celebrate wildly after every little thing, in a way that would have been considered unsportsmanlike not too long ago.

I watched two football games this year and both games featured players getting penalties for unsportsmanlike celebration in the end zone. But it happens on almost every play.

I wouldn’t mind end zone dances if the players all hooked arms and did a few chorus line kicks, perfectly synchronized. Now that would be just lovely. ;^)

I saw one player get penalized in the end zone for unsportsmanlike conduct when he got on his knees and held both arms up to God.

Wow, somehow that's on a par with a late hit on a quarterback!
