No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!
Religion is regarded by the common man as true, by the wise man as false, and by the powerful man as useful
Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!
There is something troublesome in many sport leagues. If nothing else at least I have noticed a very agressive behaviour against anything that goes outside the "norm" in the sports culture.People being persecuted for belonging to the wrong ethnic, religious or sexual group... Some time ago a retired Finnish Ice hockey player commented that there are absotulely no homosexual players because "only manly men" can play such a sport.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.
Turns out that my title might actually be 100% correct.Because someone claimed that NFL has a rule that says that players celebrating (for goals or whatever the touchyfeelydowny equivalent the American Hand Egg has) cannot have both knees touching the ground, which is something you do in a muslim prayer.So, if that claim is true this player really did violate the rules.

Prolonged or excessive celebrations or demonstrations by an individual player. Players are prohibited from engaging in any celebrations or demonstrations while on the ground. A celebration or demonstration shall be deemed excessive or prolonged if a player continues to celebrate or demonstrate after a warning from an official.
