I watched two football games this year and both games featured players getting penalties for unsportsmanlike celebration in the end zone

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!

I'm old school. I like the stories about Mickey Mantle running around the bases after a home run, head down, consciously not showing up the other team.

I can't understand why football players don't get kicked in the face for their antics. Maybe all that padding protects them from harm. I also think the fact that players only play one side of the ball makes a difference too. Anyway, NFL football, generally speaking, is a bad influence on culture, imo, or at least a reflection of a sick, ignoble culture.
