Message: [QUOTE="Toga, post: 1845748, member: 365"] It's out of control. I guess it all started with basketball low fives and an occasional low five or high five was cool after a particularly good play, but look where we are today. Even in basketball we have grown men needing to touch the shooter at the free throw line, regardless of whether the dude made the shot or not. Hey, everyone gets a trophy! Really? You have to rear slap or fist bump your teammate who can't hit a foul shot? Some sports have taken to levels of absurdity. May I present women's softball. It's a freaking love fest after every mundane play. Women's Olympic volleyball. My goodness. Good or bad plays will elicit not only hand slaps but outright hugs. Now normally I would not be opposed to that - but context people - context! It's out of control. Just play the game. [/QUOTE]
