I understand why the new catch phrase includes the word fatigue.
I’m tired of it.
To be fair (cue Wayne, Daryl, Dan and Katy ...) I wouldn’t mind one bit if soccer players were ejected for rolling around in “pain” after a Sarcasta-ball level hit.
But who knows what kind of stunts the father has done in the past? This seems likely that it would not be the same performance this guy has put together.
she sprayed on her shoes as if they were on fire. Her father handed her the extinguisher
TIK-TOK PARENTING
She celebrated in her own space. She won fair and square, no matter what the sports officials say or did.
That was exactly what I was thinking reading this story. I was about to post something similar but I’m too stupid to post pictures.
And the second-place runner is still second place. She will know that her whole life. She is first place looser.
Or as the old saying goes, give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.
To post a pic, find an internet posted picture, right click on it, choose “Inspect” (normally the last option), a window will appear with a portion highlighted hit Ctrl C (for copy), then go to where you want to post and hit Ctrl V (for paste). Then check preview, it normally works but not always.
It is a shame someone didn’t stab her for disrespecting them.
Graduation ceremonies have become insufferable. You used to not supposed to applaud each until the end. That is long gone, now they are decorating their hats. It is all look at me.
I’m glad she was kicked off.
and you really believe they and everyone else will obey the rules next time?
I think there needs to be a middle ground between “Sure, no problem bringing a fire extinguisher to an event because you know you’ll use it to celebrate” and “Disqualified and eliminated”
No. Like I said “it’s shocking”
There are rules and when rules are not followed, there are unfortunate circumstances. It is too bad they are not allowed to participate in their own leagues with their own rules.
I believe people would pay to watch the celebrations unfold. Before you know it, the track meet turns into a 24 hour event.
Oh, maybe that is why there are rules. The less-follicled just do not ever get it.

"I feel it was racially motivated.” the elder Adams said.
And all the childish hooping and hollering "woo-hoo's" (mostly by women) at almost any event, including weddings and awards presentations. Probably see them at funerals soon.
It’s consistent with the “look at me, look at me, look at MEEEEEEE” culture in modern sports. Charles Barkley was wrong when he said, “I’m not a role model”. I would be embarrassed if one of my girls had done this. We raised them to be competitors, but classy, humble competitors (like in the old days).
Nice!
Mine was brown.
