Me either. Lose with class, yes, but also WIN with class.
Agree...will say only reason I don't like it is it means my team just lost.

Have to say when Baker did it (think he was the first?) I just kind of laughed at him. Planting a flag into turf?

A lot of fights broke out over flag planting this weekend. What do you all think should happen going forward?
I think back to many years ago. I don't remember if it was at Boston College or Louisville. Miami ran out and jumped up and down on the logo.

The other team didn't start a fight, didn't throw a fit, didn't say nothing.

They just waited until the opening kickoff.

And then beat Miami by like 30.

Start kicking their ass where it matters (on the scoreboard) and that'll stop that nonsense.

How about these young men just learn to lose with class? We all lose at some point, you can’t behave like a little bitch because the other side celebrates.
Celebrating is one thing.
Taunting is another
Don’t be surprised when one gets leveled when doing so

That's true. That way the stadium would be more safe.
See. now you're thinking.
Look, you buy a ticket and go to the concession stand, you must be 18, to rent gun . To make it more difficult to just rent one you need to purchase at least a 6 pack of beer. That should make it fair. We don't want some random non-fan walking in and getting a gun, my god think of what could happen,

Talking shit after winning =/= behaving like a little bitch.

Whining and trying to fight after getting beat = behaving like a little bitch.

....I think the whole thing is pretty silly. Grown men sticking a pole with a piece of cloth on it into the ground -- silly. Grown men getting upset that some other grown man stuck a pole with a piece of cloth on it into the ground after beating your ass -- double silly.

People want to call it a "disrespect" thing. I think it's a "small penis having" thing.

Analogously I believe this cannot be topped, this is basically the flag planting issue looking in the mirror.

Personally, I'm more of an "act like you've been there before and expect to be again" person. So, flag planting isn't something I'd do if I was a player nor something I would allow if I were a coach. Winning with class is at least as important as losing with class, imo.

Having said that...if you don't want a team planting their flag on your field...don't lose to them.
