ground after the catch), and was flagged. And, Westbrook looking &
holding his arms up to the sky, (heaven? his grandparents?), a couple
weeks ago, also flagged for "unsportsmanlike conduct".

These pro sports have to be careful in walking that thin line, imo...
or else it will all look like NASCAR & F1 pretty soon.

Add in the rip off price of a "license" to buy more rip off expensive
tickets, the constant barrage of ads during the games, and...
You mean those sophisticated Dodge truck ads featuring Military, Contractors, Firemen, etc doing fiery loud macho truck things? If 12 year-olds could buy these things, they might make some sales...
