I was watching the NFL network and it had a very interesting subject on. One that I have wondered about time and again. Football players hitting each other on the rear end. To me it always was the oddest thing. Well, they had a variety of the football players and this is what they were talking about. They were saying even how they did the hit. With the back of the hand or the front of the hand, a couple of hits or just one. It even went into what each smack meant. One of the guys made the comment that what isn't allowed is squeezing the rear end or cupping it. That might lead to people thinking something strange. I mean one of these guys even said that maybe it was genetic. And only showed up if you started playing football. A very fascinating subject that I thought was something else. A good watch though because that is something I have always wondered is why the guys do this. One of them said that it is male bonding. Have you wondered why you see these guys doing this? I have.

I have noticed this too and it also happens in basketball. I think it is very weird too. I have seen them bump their chests together also. Could you imagine a woman doing that? I would probally slap a woman if she did that to me or smacked me on the rearend. I can see being friendly and praising one another but isn't that what a high five is for? What happened to that?

Well not so much because I just took it for granted that it was a good job pat! What I could not stand if I was a player is when they smack each other on the head! If someone smacked me on the head....even with a helmet on I'd probably haul off and hit them. I can't stand anyone touching my head and I don't know how they do. Sometimes they're heads bobble back and forth!
