When did it become a thing to trot around in the dugout with a trident or a samurai helmet or, gawd forbid, a powdered wig after you hit a home run? It has to be one of the silliest, newest, most annoying rituals in sports, right up there with the log chains, axes, title belts defenders run and grab after a securing a turnover in football.
Most annoying ritual in sports
- Thread starter Bipolarcy
- Start date
It’s because even the players are incredibly bored at baseball games.

mine would be taking a sh*t on homeplate after a home run
or taking a dookie at midfield after a turnover

-Having o-linemen or defensive players bring a lunchbox to the side lines.
-Holding hands as a team when running out onto the field.

If they did stuff like this with golf, soccer or women's basketball, I might actually watch it.
The choreographed TD celebrations in the NFL are terrible. I'm glad it seems to have died down lately. Frankly, it's an embarrassment.
Not a ritual, but I absolutely HATE the trend towards sudden defensive shifts on the line to try and force false starts. If the OL has to stay stationary, the DL should too.
I also hate that damn booger wipe thing they do for first downs. Seriously, is that attractive to anybody?

I don't like the 7th inning stretch. Baseball games should only last 7 innings anyway.
This is the worst. Just run onto the field and get ready to play the game. We can tell you’re a team, your all wearing the same uniform.
DB's celebrating an incomplete pass after the QB threw it 10 yards away from the receiver
Disagree. If the QB gets to try to draw an offsides/encroachment with hard snap counts when they already have every advantage in that regard, then the DL should have the same opportunity to attempt to draw a false start.
Expand this for about every routine play. RB runs 2 yds for a 1st down or CB tackles a RB after 4 yd gain. Great, you did your job.DB's celebrating an incomplete pass after the QB threw it 10 yards away from the receiver
Save the party for something special
Extending this to fans as well. If you’re above the age of 5 and doing hand gestures (beyond horns down, that’s solid), just stop. You look ridiculous.
Sure, as long as they aren't simulating the snap count or clap if a silent count is used. This is against the rules but it gets missed way too much.
Agree. However you look like an obsessed idiot if you are doing 'horns down' when you aren't even playing Texas. I'm looking at you, Sooner fans...
But the DL gets a chance to get back into position, the OL can't even blink most games. If the OL got a chance to reset position prior to the snap like the DL can, I'd be fine with it.
I always get a kick out of players celebrating with a 1st down motion or whatever when their team is down like 28 points.
I didn't enjoy most Iowa State games during the 90s either
