Eh I don't mind it. Seems to be his thing. On the second goal he runs over and kicks the ball out too. If you can live up to the persona go for it.

lol.....sometimes i feel its more ridiculous when 30+ yr olds do it, but i let it go since its not a big deal.
they are 15, still kids...not pros yet
now if you want to criticize the type of dance they chose then thats another matter.
At 15, all the more reason to teach them humility now. The scoreboard is all the "rubbing it in" that's needed - go high-five your teammates and carry on.
Curtis Martin was the classiest NFL player because after every touchdown, he handed the ball back to the ref and celebrated on the sideline.
I guess I didnt see it that way.....had he gone in front of the opposing bench then id see your point....plus it was the first goal of the game...you almost always celebrate your first goal of the game.....based on the the videos they didnt celebrate much in the other goals
Wow. I would not have been anyone's favorite baseball player.
At 14, I turned the finger pistols/blow off the smoke on a pitcher after a grand slam.
Im kind of a dick, tbf.

Wasn't a thing in the 90s. I'm old.
ETA: Now that you mention it, I did flip the bird to an away playoff crowd. And give the "suck it" at another one. And grab my nuts at yet another one. And that was all in one season of high school.
Yeah. In retrospect, my coaches may have had a point.
But it's not really my fault. Even the finger pistols came after the ump blew a called third strike on the at bat before. I may have slammed a bat into the dugout and broken my batting helmet, and then my dad told me, "don't draw attention to yourself after something bad. You want attention when you do something good."
Turns out, showing up the other team wasn't exactly what he meant, but he waited too late to explain that part.
Eta2: I also forgot about literally throwing a ball at a kid who tried to spike me when he made the last out at first base. Luckily for both of us, I missed. And even more lucky, not everyone had a phone camera pointed at everything back then.
High school and American Legion ball was the nastiest shit ever compared to college, until I played Sunday league semi-pro ball with the Laurel Black Cats during summers. That shit was totally wild. When we'd play Hattiesburg Black Sox or Meridian, the stands would be as raucous as any South American soccer match (police escort included).
ETA 3: oh shit! The internet really does know everything. The ol' Black Cats are on Wikipedia now. Only big leaguers I remember, that I knew anyway, was old Oil Can Boyd, who I think owned, managed and pitched every inning for Meridian, if I'm not mistaken.

If Gio really is interested in going there, I cannot imagine Claudio would let him sign directly with Fulham while cutting out NYCFC (provided MLS bends a little).
Likely Claudio tells Garber, Gio wants to go to Fulham and we support that. He's willing to sign a HG contract now and be transferred provided NYCFC gets full GAM even though he isn't fully vested timewise. Say yes and you get the transfer, say no and he's gone. Capiche?
is Fulham even worth going to? I mean are they known to develop youth players. id prefer something like holland or portugal or germany to further develop
EDIT: not related...but i kept reading the MLS transfer twitter... interesting i even found this, was this our jack harrison?

Gio needs to have children first.
