The most unnatural thing in the world is trying to be 🗿 after something upsetting or amazing happens.

I understand if something is unsportsmanlike like but at this point it feels like players are being thrown out for just getting excited about a nice play.

As a new viewer these are some of the strangest calls I've seen in any sport.

The inner skeptical in me is curious if this is a way for refs to manipulate match scores to some degree because it feels so random and out of place.

Edit: meanwhile Dray having a 10 year old childs meltdown every 5 minutes without repercussions? What's that about...

Human ego. Refs just jealous they have to monitor these beautiful magnificent athletes while they’re dressed up like a gloomy day with a whistle in their mouth.
