If it was Abu Dhabi or mundials I would agree. But what division was this? Respect and class to fellow competitors is part of the game. And to over celebrate in any division other than expert or advanced just looks silly to true competitors, because they wouldn't get any highlights. Its a perspective that can be learned as Louis and the ref tried to teach. Good message and lesson here. Respect your opponent and never celebrate an injury. He has a job and a family just like you.Quote:

If he was wearing a shirt it wouldn't have been bad.
The not wearing a shirt made it even funnier.
A couple of ref this weekend was the worse we ever seen. One ref almost started a fight among the parents. It got so heated that I had to yank cora out of the way. The ref was watching his own son fighting in the next mat instead of watching the kids that he was suppose to ref thus the score got screwed up when it was over. The table worker had to shout at him that he missed many calls. They had to redo the match. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. He was shouting at his kid when he was suppose to be reffing the match. However when it was cora's turn, he really like watching cora as she rubber guard all the kids and finish them fast. He laughs and got a kick out of it...watch the vid you will see. He always laughs when cora beat the boys...LOL crazy ref.
There is celebrating a victory and then theres being a douche. Very cool move on the ref's part, I support it 100%. Good sportsmanship is generally in the rules of every grappling tournament I've ever been at. The ref hadn't rasied his hand yet and could have very easily DQ'd him even though won via submission. More importanly, thats not how 10 do.
Well hopefully he learned his lesson. You don't see any of our top competitors doing stuff like that.
