A little dab’ll do ya.
Some will remember that line in old ads for Brylcreem, a glossy hair-styling product for men. But the sentiment could also apply to the hot new celebratory dance called The Dab, popularized by Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and currently sweeping through organized sports.
Alas, there’s a growing sense that a little Dabbing goes a long way.
I attended an indoor soccer game at Camp Jordan in East Ridge one recent Saturday and the 12-year-old players there were Dabbing like crazy. In fact, they were over-Dabbing.
Indoor soccer is a fast-paced game, and any goal celebration that involves hiding your eyes – even for a couple of seconds – can backfire. Time after time, the 12-year-olds would be Dabbing and simultaneously getting smoked on a counterattack.
