You responded to a quite rude comment with kindness and humility. My jaw dropped at how maturely you ignored their lack of etiquette.

Nobody should dance en pointe, if physical health were taken into consideration!

The Moulin Rouge was founded in the 1880s. Ballet dates back to the 1500s and originated in royal courts with floor-length gowns.

This is a nice, unexpected piece!

Yes, you’re right. It definitely is not a sports entertainment promotion featuring musclebound men wearing sparkly spandex costumes slamming each other around for spectacle. It’s some whole other, more serious thing.

I hope that these players will be taught to celebrate their touchdowns in a stalwart, manly fashion — a good firm handshake, perhaps, or possibly a (single) pat on the back (hand above the waist, please), accompanied by a “Jolly well done, old sport!”

“That’s right, everyone on the sideline, salute and- goddammit, someone tell Riley Cooper that the salute is hand to the forehead, not held straight out in front of him.”

They’ve shelved the video instructing the players on the proper way to commit suicide.

The best part of all this? The only reason Antonio Brown does a dance like that is BECAUSE the NFL has dumb rules about celebration. The more you outlaw harmless dancing the more attention you will draw to it when a player does it anyway. Similar to why, on a much smaller scale, outlawing drugs or guns will ultimately…

If you don’t want to sit through the video, the general rule of thumb is “act like a white person.”

Warning, such a diet is known to cause severe balance and pain response issues, you will tip over at the slightest brush from another person and writhe in pain on the ground for an inordinate amount of time until someone blows a whistle for you.

Oh no, they’re writing down the unwritten rules!

For what it’s worth, I’ve always thought that Deadspin’s beef with Simmons is mainly about five things:

Even getting away from the issue of whether or not Simmons is to be believed about the Ringer’s profitability I think if he is telling the truth about that it’s because the Ringer right now is so different from Grantland. I mean consider these things:

Chop and Steele eventually appeared on three shows, in Eau Claire, Wisc., Bismarck, N.D., and Allentown, Penn., before canceling their other appearances due to being “stressed out.”

Hope springs eternal. Just like an asshole with a foot-long gash in it.

Thank you.

I think this leaves a black eye on the sport.

Good. Fuck bullfighters. That bull certainly did.
