Is proximity of the players of the same team a decisive factor as to whether they've joined the celebration and hence made it excessive? Or just the fact that they all knew what to do?

After I stopped laughing, I would probably just flag the kid that scored the TD. He started the act.

Peace

The fact that it was choreographed and not a "spontaneous celebration".

Pointing to the sky and praying are just as choreographed as anything else!!!

Call them all or none!

This is the type ridiculous logic that could ruin a great game and is currently trying to rip our nation apart.

What if A88 just throws the grenade and no one goes down? Is that still a flag? Where do you draw the LINE!!!!

One finger in the air is fine, unless it is the wrong finger! 3 fingers and the kid is number 3 do you flag that? Chest bumps?

If A88 just throw a grenade and nobody fell down I probably wouldn't know it was a hand grenade. Take a knee to pray real quick is not an unsporting act IMO! We all must dry our own lines in the sand.

The rule has nothing to do with sporting act, it is about drawing attention to oneself!

That's my thought (well, I used "draw" in my thought, but still...). Sometimes, you just have to officiate. :shrug:
