Dance routines like they do in the NFL. Pro sports leagues have embraced showmanship, and kids are going to copy what they see the pros doing.

Thats a great thing about small schools, is more kids get a chance to do things.

Baseball kids look/act ridiculous too now. Guess I’m just old too.

Let the kids have some fun. As long as there's no taunting it's harmless.

Disagree with your take. There’s a line that is definitely being crossed.
