Category Archives: rant

I’m tired of moderating all the annoying spam comments and have decided to turn comments off for a while.

Jeana and I were discussing all the slapping of behinds that happens in sports. Specifically, we were watching the NCAA mens basketball tournament when this topic came up. I have this question:

Why is it acceptable for one man to slap another man’s behind on the basketball court (or any court of your athletic choosing) when it is unacceptable to do it at other times?

I’m not lobbying here for the acceptability of slapping off the court. I’m just questioning what society has accepted as okay on the court.

For instance, if I were to go out to lunch with two male coworkers, can I slap one on the back-side and say, “Nice ordering of those fries Sean” or “Now get up there and place your order Brad – you can do it”? No I cannot. Nor would I want to. It’s just down-right unacceptable.
