the relay team was disqualified for “unsporting conduct”.

[Serpo]

all the Columbus High School 4 X 100 relay team runner did was point one finger toward God as he crossed the finish line and the entire team was completely disqualified

I am not a religious fellow... however This is a direct violation of his freedom of expression. If he is guilty of a crime.... show me the victim? The more we as a people accept the ridiculous rules imposed upon us by quasi authority figures the more demanding and restraining these rules will become.

The great rule keeper for a school athletics association said... "You can do whatever you want to in terms of prayer, kneeling or whatever you want to once you get out of the competition area. You just can't do it in the competition area. It goes back to the taunting rule."


So pointing to the sky as I have seen many runners do as they break the ribbon is somehow now considered taunting? I say Bullll Sheeeeet! Man!

If the guy had flamboyantly thrust his hips through the finish tape and did a little twirl at the end, he'd probably had earned a standing ovation by the same guy who disqualified him.

Without we're all losers.

i wonder if he had done something overtly disgusting - e.g. scratching his butt & smelling it, in front of the entire audience - would they have just "written it off" - without making it their business ?

i also wonder if America has more rules than Communist Russia.

It's just the continued application of the psy-op that believing in something - anything - makes you not oonly politically incorrect but a potential terrorist.
