She should have stabbed someone. Then she’d get a new house.

California- let a man win a women’s race and this girl is the problem?

They watch the morons who play professionally that act like Low IQ dolts.

The response, just as the celebration, was needlessly overboard

There was no need to use a prop to celebrate.

Too bad she’s not a transgender then she would be rewarded not punished.

So true Officials had no problem shaking hands w/ winner of GIRLS RACE after he/she/it adjusts his nut sak, but have a problem with celebrating. The Country is confused!

Had she knifed one of her competitors and yelled "free Palestine," they wouldn't take her title.

Or she had a penis.

Stupid to take away her title, but more stupid for the father to claim racism.

Seems like a nice young lady with a solid father. She is only a sophomore, so best to her next 2 years.

If only these news reporters were as outraged by the guy that won 2 girls events in this same meet.

I lean towards being respectful but this is ridiculous to take away the title for that.

Dumbass parents make dumbass kids.

Didn’t they both know the rules about inappropriate celebrating and the consequences for breaking those rules? Yet they went ahead and did it anyway. And now they’re complaining about the consequences. Hmmm…

I'll help you morons out. There are NO, and I mean zero fore extinguishers outside on a track field. She planned this and had to bring it herself out to the field.
Spontaneous is one thing, premeditated stupidity is different.
And I say again, discharging any sort of emergency device in a crowd can be considered a crime, like pulling an alarm.
Race is a factor, her dad created this idiot thought process

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

I can see both sides. I can see why she was upset because it wasn't that big of a deal. On the other hand, celebrations have gotten so out of hand that, at some point, you have to make a stand. I have more of a problem of dad jumping down from the stands because that can lead to others following him and then you have a riot on your hands.

And the bar keeps lowering and lowering. So much class. So much civility.

I have zero problems problems with it. I hope we get back to class and decorum. Not everything needs to be a tiktok main character moment. You just won a state title...go celebrate with your coach, family and teammates

In the 70's, a kid in Dallas won the state 100 yd dash and a released a little parachute out of the back of his shorts as he crossed the finish line. A version of the story was included in Dan Jenkins book Semi Tough. The whole thing is silly. Punish the kid with some sort of community service but don't take away the win.
