A lot of the showboating that has become the norm in sports from the pros to the peewees can be dropped in the lap of Mickey Mouse Sports. Well before Facebook and YouTube made it possible for anyone to be a "celebrity", SportsCenter practically encouraged athletes and those watching it to do crazy stuff in order to get their mugs on the show.
My favorite is when a receiver doesn’t catch a pass. Even when the defender has nothing to do with it, they run 15 yards put their arms out like an airplane and make two or three safe calls like an umpire, point to heaven as if god is on the side of their team, and now they make black power salute. The legendary coach Paul Brown told a guy who celebrated in the end zone, act like you’ve been there before.
