MJ Tribute or Mockery?

CFL receiver Arland Bruce supposedly does a end zone tribute to Michael Jackson (after scoring a touchdown) by lying down on the ground with his arms folded (think mummy haha). I understand what Bruce was trying to convey but it would have been easier to do the moonwalk or emulate Thriller dance moves. Unfortunately people will probably misinterpret the horrible celebration as a mockery of his death instead of celebrating his life.
