After the kickball exploded off Cam Newton’s Ugg boots, after it cleared the centerfield fence on Field 1 at his second annual charity kickball tournament, and after he rounded the bases spreading his arms out like airplane wings, the NFL MVP approached home plate with teammates surrounding it.
He tagged third and, halfway to home, held out his arms to tell teammates to “dab on 3” just as he crossed the plate.
But…but…didn’t Newton say earlier in the week that he was done with celebratory dabbing? Is the dab not dead?
Who cares?
On Friday at Memorial Stadium, that wasn’t the discussion, though it dominated offseason NFL headlines for a day.
