It is also what I hate about running backs and receivers in the NFL who showboat before they get into the end zone. I don't give a fuck what you get paid, finish the play first. I've seen these idiots fumble or get tackled over really stupid mental mistakes.
Dammit Brian, that's the smartest thing you've ever said. I complain about that every game. Seriously, you can't wait two more freaking strides to celebrate?
I also hate the dances they do for ordinary plays. Guy makes a tackle, he dances. When I complete a tax return, I don't spike it. You stop a guy on fourth and goal to win the game, yeah, go ahead and celebrate, but not every play. I forget which coach said it, but someone supposedly said "when you make a big play, act like you've done it before," or something like that. Couldn't agree more.
I always find responses like this funny as if it should shock you at all. The only difference between you and me is I don't assign "all this" to old books or sky heros. I can value for example, the compassion of Ann Frank and King and Malala, without believing in a sky hero.
It should also not shock you at all that there are atheists I don't agree with and don't like. I don't mind it at all if theists don't like me personally, I am an individual. I also don't like it when other atheists think my personal conduct is something they have a right to control.
I found it funny, but in the sport I personally like NFL, I hate to see really dumb thinking at that level. But even at that level, it should also show that ultimately we are still flawed humans.
