Derrick Hayes ran the last leg of his high school's track meet - winning the meet and moving his team into the Texas State High School Championship. Only one problem. As Derrick crossed the finish line, he pointed upward towards the Heavens giving thanks to God. Big mistake. The athletic body that has jurisdiction over such things in Texas, considered Derrick's gesture excessive celebration and "taunting". And disqualified him and his team from the track meet. So now, pointing upwards to God is taunting. Exactly who was Derrick taunting? Satan? In case you'd like to voice your displeasure regarding this lunacy, you can fire off an email to the appropriate clueless partys.
