And that seems to be one of the reasons the YouTube video of Stala has been viewed over 228,000 times. Yes, it has been viewed that many times, as you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmHTG5H_OgQ
I thought the “Duck, Duck, Goose” celebration at IWS, which coincidentally also occurred after a Kevin Glenn pass was viewed many times, but it has only been viewed about 130,000 times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aavPl9AfqE
The exposure is great but did you read some of the NFL yahoos complaining about the size of the end zone and the placement of the goal posts?
Some of the rebuttals by the CFL fans were great though.
I don’t usually read comments posted to YouTube videos, as most of them are very unintelligent. But I did see some discussion of CFL rules by some south of the border. Some commented on receivers being allowed to start their routes from behind the line of scrimmage before the snap. And some did like how in the CFL, they let the players have some fun like this without a flag being thrown.
If I’m not mistaken, this game was broadcast on the NFL Network. Could that be a reason it’s getting this much exposure?
It was, I remember checking my guide while watching the game, BUT I watched on TSN-HD since I dont get NFL-HD. Here`s the schedule for the games that will be aired on NFL network. http://www.cfl.ca/page/u-s-broadcast-webcast
El Mundial de Sudáfrica pudo haber terminado el 11 de julio, pero para el receptor abierto de los Tigres de Hamilton de la Liga Canadiense de Fútbol Americano, Dave Stala, la fiebre mundialista sigue viva. Así lo mostró después de anotar un "touchdown" en la derrota de su equipo frente a los Roughriders de Saskatchewan.
Stala vino de atrás, se adelantó a los defensores rivales y atrapó el ovoide para lograr una estupenda anotación y luego vino la magnífica celebración. El narrador del partido hizo un buen apunte al indicar que: “la selección francesa pudo usarlo en el Mundial”. Hablando de la terrible presentación gala en Sudáfrica.
Los Tigres de Hamilton?
And here is a quote from the French website I mentioned earlier:
Dave Stala, le joueur professionnel des Hamilton Tiger-cats (Ligue canadienne de football américain) a sa manière bien à lui de célébrer son touchdown. Alors certes, on a déjà vu plus chorégraphié mais écoutez le petit clin d'oeil du commentateur à la fin de la séquence (en anglais)...
They acknowledged what was said by Rod Black about France's soccer team. :)
