***As the game changed with fruity celebration dances****
This was when the NFL started turning to s**t. I couldn’t believe the arrogance and showboating the first time I saw one. Then it just started blending in and everyone accepted it.
The gruff old timers who played for Green Bay, NY, Baltimore etc in the 50s and 60s would be appalled to see this garbage and most lived to see it. In the off season these guys made ends meet by managing sporting goods stores, liquor salesmen, went hunting etc etc. They have no connection to the amoral pagans who play today (generalizing of course)
No one did it back then because they didn’t want to get crippled by other players self policing them for their extreme jerkitude. Now the cool players can’t police the jerks, even if they wanted to, which I doubt. Modern officiating, a million camera angles, each game meaning so much doesn’t allow it.
