CFL fines player for TD tribute to Michael Jackson
 
Quote:

TORONTO (AP) - The Canadian Football League fined Toronto Argonauts receiver Arland Bruce for "excessive actions" during his tribute to Michael Jackson after scoring a touchdown.

Bruce was fined an undisclosed amount, the CFL announced Thursday.

After scoring on a 21-yard pass that put Toronto ahead 6-0, Bruce removed his helmet, shoulder pads and uniform top, then laid down in the end zone. Bruce said he was honoring the memory of Jackson by pretending to be buried.

Referees gave Bruce two objectionable conduct penalties for his actions in the game, which the Argonauts won 30-17 on Wednesday night.

"It's not always easy to draw that line, but when you remove your equipment to lay down and delay the game, like he did, that's where we draw the line," the CFL said.

Toronto coach Bart Andrus said "next time around he will celebrate in an appropriate manner."

That's a pretty tasteless "tribute". When I read the title, I was expecting him to do a moonwalk or something.

What kind of tribute was that?

That's weaksauce!

STUPIDEST thing ever...what kind of a tribute is it that he pretends to be buried.. My instinct tells me that he's no fan of Michael Jackson.. because if he was... wouldn't it be better to just dance or something?.. oh welll.. he deserved that fine

InvisibleSoul 07-03-2009 08:26 AM

He deserves a fine for such a retarded "tribute".

shenmecar 07-03-2009 08:26 AM

what an idiot.

Gridlock 07-03-2009 08:55 AM

People would have been behind him if he suddenly started doing the dance from Thriller. He would have gone down in history for that.

Instread, he looks like a douche.

StylinRed 07-04-2009 01:55 AM

i was gonna bash his "tribute" but looks like everyone else did for me


his actions were excessive... and deserved a fine

Harvey Specter 07-04-2009 02:11 AM

Yup, worst tribute ever. Do the moonwalk or some other Jacko move but this? WTF was this?

azzurro32 07-05-2009 05:34 AM

I have a feeling it had nothing to do with MJ and after he saw all the trouble he got he just played the MJ dying card.

Did you not hear that Jordan Chandler admitted he lied about Michael Jackson molesting him?
