I was always under the impression that here in America the clapping of hands was meant to show appreciation and support for actions. NO ONE seems to stop and consider that maybe the defender is just applauding the effort of the offensive player and is joyful that said effort has resulted in a positive outcome? I mean how hard is that to understand?? This isn't Europe or S. America where a whistle is a BAD thing but a good thing here. Geez people!
