quote:

Sophomore Clara Adams, of North Salinas High School, finished in second place in the prelims and came off the starting line quickly in the finals and ran her way to a first-place finish, or so she thought.


quote:

Adams celebrated with her father after winning the race. She took a fire extinguisher from her father and sprayed her shoes with it, alluding to her being on fire, the Monterey Herald reported. Clara’s father, David, said the celebration was done away from opponents.

"She wasn’t disrespecting anyone," he told the outlet.


quote:

The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) determined that Adams’ celebration was unsportsmanlike, and Adams’ state championship was taken away. She was also disqualified from the meet and lost an opportunity to compete in the 200-meter race as well.


quote:

David Adams told the outlet that the CIF’s decision was protested and said he felt like the disqualification was "racially motivated." Clara Adams is Black.


quote:

The California state track and field championships were under increased scrutiny because of a transgender athlete who participated in and won the girls’ high jump and triple jump events.


So much stuff, but it is California.

I'm 100% over the obnoxious celebrations now. There really is no humility being taught anymore, it's all about inflating the ego.

Glad she was DQ. That’s obnoxious and stupid.

It’s a stupid celebration and the racial angle is beyond stupid but if she won she won

This is like arguing it was just for Brad Wing’s TD run to come off the board. He scored. Only baby back bitches would give a frick about showboating to the point that on-field success should be wiped off the board as if it never happened. It’s absurd and completely arbitrary get-off-my-lawn nonsense

I almost got suspended for spraying a fire extinguisher in a toilet (long story), so it's not like this is something new to not mess with fire extinguishers.

Celebrating while running the ball in the end zone on a fake punt and bringing a fricking fire extinguisher to a track meet and making the conscious decision to run over, remove your shoes, and then spraying them is not the same… at all.

I’m team letting people celebrate, but all this premeditated shite is just lame as frick

It’s lame. Right

It’s not worth taking titles away. That’s absurd

Disagree, sorry the line has to be drawn somewhere, and using a PPE as a prop like that just does not just occur naturally. If Cali has that rule, I think it's valid in this instance.

She still won without cheating. She could keep her title. Maybe don't let her stand on a podium and warn her if anything like that happens again, it'll be a DQ from other events.

The tranny thing is beyond ridiculous. But people are beginning to wake up. It puts Dems in a hilarious predicament of choosing between protecting women's sports and transgender rights. I'm enjoying watching them squirm over it, but I don't have any daughters.

It's time for these coaches to unite as one against these mentally retarded things. Refuse to have your athletes compete and form your own league where people that don't need a lobotomy are in charge.

Not defending the trashy celebration, but that was presumably a fire extinguisher needed for the building and you sprayed it indoors. I am assuming they brought this extinguisher themselves and it was outdoors.

Cancel California.

Cool

What’s the specific line? Draw it

Your arbitrary view of the world is inadequate

I mean you made a binary decision as well, that taking away her victory was incorrect. The specific line is planned celebrations using props, seems rather distinct and reasonable.
