Everyone complaining about Yak's celebration reminds me of this:

Everyone did it to Ovie too. And then there are the comments about touchdown celebrations... I don't understand why people get so worked up about things like that, when there are so many other things to get behind, child welfare, animal cruelty, gun control, world food supplies, etc, etc, etc.

I always just figured people need more hobbies and less television.
