Track team disqualified for act of praise deemed "excessive" - KWCH

The biggest problem I see with this is that the penalty does not come close to fitting the crime. In football, a team that celebrates too much gets a 15 yard penalty. Generally, that will not affect the outcome of the game. In this case, the team who won is disqualified and does not get to advance, since this was a qualifying meet.

"Employment rose faster than expected in April and hiring was much stronger than previously thought in the prior two months, a sign of resilience that should help the economy bear the blow from belt-tightening in Washington.
Investors on Wall Street cheered the data, which beat economists' expectations for a 145,000 jobs gain and a steady 7.6 percent reading on the unemployment rate.
U.S. stocks jumped, with the Standard & Poor's 500 index and the Dow Jones industrial average rising to intraday record highs. The dollar rallied against the yen, while Treasury debt prices fell."

I would bet anything, if this was a muslim student NOTHING would have been a whole different story
It seems to me that winning this High School track meet is only slightly more prestigious as Obama winning a Nobel Peace prize right before he attacked Pakistani children with drone aircraft. If I was on the disqualified team, I really wouldn't care too much about it.

Very true. Obama would have called and congratulated him on his courage.
