TORONTO - The Canadian Football League isn't all that thrilled with Arland Bruce's tribute to Michael Jackson in the Toronto Argos win in Hamilton.
The league is reviewing the Toronto receiver's TD celebration after scoring in Wednesday night's 30-17 victory.
Following a TD pass from Kerry Joseph that put Toronto ahead 6-0, Bruce removed his helmet, shoulder pads and uniform top and lay down in the end zone. Bruce said he was honoring the memory of Michael Jackson by pretending to be buried.
Bruce received two objectionable conduct penalties.
"I made the mistake of telling him in camp that once he got to the end zone, I didn't care what he did," coach Bart Andrus said. "But he's straight with it now and I think next time around he will celebrate in an appropriate manner."
