As we all know by now Stevie Johnson mocked Plaxico Burress shooting himself after a touchdown in their game on Sunday. Since then Johnson has called Burress and apologized. Burress said that he accepted the apology, but if it was back in the day he might have met him in the parking lot and worked things out. Jets nose tackle Sione Pouha had a different problem though. He thought the later part of the celebration was even worse when Johnson fell on the ground acting like an airplane. This is what he had to say.
“Us being from New York, we like to hold ourselves to some integrity,
and that airplane thing, in my opinion, was kind of a dagger considering
the circumstances of remembrance of what we just had on Sept. 11,’’
Pouha said. “It was just unprofessional. We all stand for pride around
here, and that’s a sacred moment for a lot of people and it’s a very
sobering moment.’’
Like clearly this is overboard right?? No way the dude was making fun of 9/11 victims. Burress and other Jet wide receivers do the “Fly Boys” celebration every week after they score where they act like an airplane. Not sure why you would even bring up something like 9/11 when you know they do that celebration every week. I would have to hope that Johnson wasn't that much of a dick to make fun of the victims.
