A lot of us grew up when men acted like men after doing what they were paid to do. My father was a telephone installer/repairman. He didn't dance and wiggle or high five everyone after he put a phone in someone's house. I was a teacher, and I didn't spike the pen or strike a "Look at me!" pose every time I marked a paper or wrote the number down in my grade book.  Are athletes today so fragile and insecure they need to be admired, coddled and indulged every time they do what they're supposed to be doing?

It's gone over the top with all the orchestrated, pre-rehearsed, "Watch me wiggle my ass off and pose so everyone can admire me" nonsense. The NFL is the worst for that silliness. Especially when they look around for the camera before starting their childish attention-seeking antics. I used to laugh watching the NBA when a player's teammates all had to touch five with him after [I]missing[/I] a free throw. Now I just don't watch anymore.
