So, I was browsing Yahoo news when I came across an article about one Chad Johnson, a player on the Cincinnati Bengals, who apparently commandeered a television camera after he scored a touchdown and swung it around. He then drew a penalty for excessive celebration, a penalty that shouldn't even be in existence, but had to be created for idiots like Johnson.
Wow, what a jackass. You'd think maybe he was the first football player ever to score a touchdown. I'm so impressed! He had to swing a television camera around because he did what he was supposed to do? What he's getting paid to do? Next time I'm at work and key out a green screen, I'm going to start racing my office chair down the hallway.
Geez, what a twat. It's not enough that players started doing touchdown dances and prances. Now they have to swing cameras around. Next they'll be knocking over benches and throwing helmets into the crowd. What's worse is this quote from the Cincinnati defensive coach: "He's been working hard. I told him to keep it up. I told him if he needs a penalty to get himself going, go ahead."
What?! Are you kidding me? He really needed to draw a penalty for being an idiot to "get himself going?" What about the millions of dollars he's getting to play the game? Can't that get him going? No, he has to act like a complete moron out on the field, and what's worse, the defensive coach backs him up. It's like a mother making excuses for her little kid's outburst.
See, this is why I hate football sometimes. Play the damn game, Johnson. You're an idiot.

Back in the days of creative touchdown celebrations (I speak as if I paid attention during those days), some of those celebrations seemed kind of funny. But you're right, why risk expensive equipment? Probably because he could afford to pay for it five thousand times over.
