You brought up Brady, but the more apt comparison is probably Gronk. Dude smiles and dances just as much as Cam and people generally love the grizzly bear for it. Cam does a dab after scoring a touchdown and mothers are writing letters to their local newspaper editor.

There’s something quite heartwarming knowing there are former Duke players out there in basketball camps, not for fame or fortune, but only for the chance to humiliate children.

You could have simplified the point of your comment by writing it

Everyone who wants to play softball, male or female, should be able to play it, but no one should be tracked into it based on gender. It’s a leftover from when…

In a serious case of the wit of the staircase the proper Deadspin response probably would have been “You should probably transition into being a For-all Civil Rights activist”.
