Gunnery Sgt. Stephen Roberts

Funny as shit.

Thanks for the article... I wasn't sure what Goodwin was going for there (salute or shushing). The reactions of both were highly entertaining.

Knowing this young man personally for the past 8 years, I find no entertainment in this reaction from you as a GunnerySergeant in my USMC. As stated before, your professionalism is questioned here. Stand your ground Marine and keep your poise and tactfully be aware you are living in a glass box on that sidelines. I know what Marquise’s intentions were and you gave him no regard or respect. As stated previously, “respect is earned not given” think about the actions you took. I coached this young man when he was very young and being a Marine he understood without question what your uniform stands for. I have heard plenty about this from Marquise and his Dad. So why don’t you capitolize on your demeanor as a GYSGT in our Marine Corps and your profesionalism and not on your reaction of jealousy for a young man who just returned home from representing our country in the Olympics. Marquise has state, national and international records in track and field events. He represented us in the 2012 Olympics and this is the respect you chose to give him???"

R-E-S-P-E-C-T....find out what it means to me.

Seriously, WTF was the Marine doing taking 2 steps to his right in order to get in front of and yell at a player?

This is a bad angle. I was actually watching this game (before heading to ours) and the endzone angle shows Goodwin with his hand to his face then starting to point at the GYSGT before quickly pulling his hand back and retreating. Maybe it was to the crowd but in the split second it could have been taken either way.

Both actions/reactions were unwarranted but the Marine was not totally out of line in his stance/reponse.

Nonsense.

I think CM has a bit more cred here....

I counted 1.

I think Cluck counted right-left as two.

I love the reaction of the State Trooper who was standing behind the Marine.
