No, your analogy is pretty spot on I would say. I think a lot of folks are catching on to the whole ‘everyone is special for being not as good’ thing.

My biggest problem with the NFL is that the nature of the modern game itself insures that the cool players can’t police the mouthbreathers who break out the chest slapping and gyrating dance moves after falling on a loose ball. There’s a reason no one makes a choke sign to the pitcher after drawing a walk. No one wants 90mph+ in the eye socket, much less anywhere else.

When one mentions that the TD dance etal is not only ridiculous but quite foolish (John Riggins —I don’t have a dance because you should act like you have been here before and will be there again).

I even think the ‘after game’ celebration(especially on a walk off) is ‘over the top’ as it is a 162 games season.

Just point out to a FBall fan that a dance in the end zone is tantamount to hitting a home run, doing cartwheels down the 3rd base line and doing a ‘spike’ motion towards the Catcher and Pitcher.

Yes, it would certainly be time for some ‘Chin Music’ and I can sort of imagine the Umpire ‘not seeing anything’ (as to the ‘retaliation’)
