The absolute worst is the NFL, they break out the fruity self-congratulatory gyrating displays after even mundane plays. The cool NFL players have no way to self police the jerkwads, the nature of the modern game doesn’t allow it.

I've given up on the NFL too. But my response to the prancing is that the league should institute a new major award, "The Jolson," for the best impersonation of a minstrel show strut by an player. To really do it right, the award should be presented live on national tv, when they hand out the MVP award. The top contenders would reprise their routines, and the white guys would wear blackface and the black guys would wear whiteface, just to honor the spirit of the thing.

I used to wonder where all the strutting, chest pounding, and prancing came from. Then I became a parent, and had a three year old. Fortunately, my three year old outgrew such displays.

I don't mind a little chest-pounding now and then, say, after a score or a great play. But after a defensive lineman makes a tackle? Jeepers, that's his job.

Hey, I expect the quality of the NFL self-congratulatory prancing and chest pounding to only improve. I mean the rest of the players will have to step it up now that fans can look at a player breaking out the fruity moves and know for sure he is actually gay. They have to compete with the real McCoy now.
