It makes sense if the kid gets up under their own power - outside of that is seems like an awkward transition to put something bad behind us and move on with a game. Applauding as they haul some kid away on a stretcher has never seemed like the right thing to do!

As an official - never
As a fan - reluctantly due to group mentality
