I don't have a problem with celebrating a touchdown, what i have a problem with is how. We don't need a sharpie signed football stunt , a cell phone stunt or a marriage proposal stunt, just a little dance or group dance and let it go.

I really think the media has a great deal to do with this issue. They are always the ones to say comments like " He's one of the great black quarterbacks in the league" instead of just saying He's a great quarterback. Maybe they should control their need to make it into a race issue.

Last time I checked Being a good or great player had nothing to do with color, but with pride and a love of the game.

if they earn it let 'em celebrate
most running backs have the celebration down: down on one knee thanking (who ever) and then jogging off the field knowing they did something good (class act all the way)
