re: Let the guys taunt - Joey B

Celebrating after a big play is one thing.
Taunting is another.

It has to do with sportsmanship. Remember sportsmanship...like, from the 1960s and '70s?

Nobody was drama-queening around the field (or court), acting all angry, claiming that so-and-so was "disrespecting" them.
Nobody danced and pounded their chest after a sack in a 42-7 game.
Nobody banished the visiting school's band to the upper deck corners of the end zone. #Longhorns

Teams really did avoid peeing on their opponents' shoes in those days. Sportsmanship was an accepted thing.
It didn't make them wimps or snowflakes.
Showing sportsmanship was classy. And we all wanted our school's teams to look classy.

I think sportsmanship died around 1972 or so.
Rest in peace, sportsmanship. Tell your glowering, chest-beating grandchildren to behave themselves.
