September 30, 201412 yr Penalty is legit based on the rule. It's still not good PR for the NFL. It'll get worse if they fine him. If all penalties of this type are fined how can you not fine him?
September 30, 201412 yr Are you saying the officials called it incorrectly or are you saying they should change the rule? Both. I could be wrong, but in my memory, I see guys taking a knee after scoring a TD & saying a quick prayer without being penalized. I thought Tebow did that a lot, didn't he?
September 30, 201412 yr Author If all penalties of this type are fined how can you not fine him? Easy. It wasn't his intent to break the rule. It was his intent to pray if he scored. If anyone who has been fined was praying and not celebrating then they should be allowed to appeal their fine that they received.
September 30, 201412 yr Sporting News @sportingnews The NFL announces Husain Abdullah should NOT have been penalized for going to his knees in prayer last night.

September 30, 201412 yr I'm fine with guys pretty much doing whatever after a TD has been scored. It's the guy who catches an 8 yard pass & then celebrates like he just won $200 million in the Powerball that irritates me to no end.
September 30, 201412 yr He was fined for doing a "On Two Knees, Soccer Slide"...you got to beat down anyone trying to imitate anything from Soccer!!!
September 30, 201412 yr Another case where Chad Johnson ruined it for the rest of the guys. And Terrell Owens
September 30, 201412 yr I cant find a video of him sliding. All I can find from the great media is him on his knees and bowed down. AS if that was all he did. it dont show a slide, which I havent seen. But the media picts are not showing full play. Just what they want you to see. Look at this link and tell if if you think its slanted? It doesnt show full play. Meet the Muslim NFL Player Who Was Penalized for Praying - COLORLINES

September 30, 201412 yr The old Muslim slide. Happens all the time. I see Muslims rollin down the aisle of my office all the time when I tell them they need 6 teeth extracted. Please, that's not a prayer, it's a slide, and a freakin penalty.
September 30, 201412 yr NFL Admits Mistake in Penalizing Muslim Player Who Prayed After Touchdown They are inept. Totally inept.
September 30, 201412 yr They are inept. Totally inept. I put the blame on the league offices and not the officials in this case. What if the player slid on his knees but didn't bow his head? Just sat there praying? How would the official know?

How would the official know?I don't disagree, but the product you put out on the field to arbitrate every weekend looks like a bunch of clowns who are clueless when the league hamstrings them if that's the case. How can they determine the rule if the league doesn't know it? The whole league sucks right now in every facet except the wallet.
