As we all have seen on many sports media channels, celebrating in sports is fun to watch but not so humorous for the opposing team. However, the media can depict how we view the celebrations whether it is a certain sport or player. The National Football League has had many problems in the past with players celebrating after a touchdown or just a great play. Many of those players have been scrutinized by the media for doing so such as Terrell Owens. T.O has been the media's black sheep for many years in the football league so it is only fitting that they would continue to pick at his moves.
What happens when another professional athlete does similar actions but is a “golden boy” of that sport. Lebron James is just one to name since he recently stole the ball made a shot and then began to eat a fan's French fries. We have not heard too much regarding his celebration. I am not picking on either T.O or James but it is incredible to see the views of athletes that the media gives us. This class has taught me to seek out many different sources in order to get the best view of what the athlete’s are doing and how they are acting.
