Athletes, why do you smack each other's asses?

Have you seen an athlete's ass? I'd smack that all day.

slap ass

I'm not one, but we all know why. Because butts are amazing.

Probably one of my most embarrassing moments was playing a game of pickup ultimate in grad school. It was some kind of informal league, so we didn't know the other team at all. After a play, I was getting up and there was this bit of a crowd, and I for some reason that I still cannot understand, I slapped the ass of one of the opposing players. It was fast and firm, and made a great sound. He was immediately embarrassed, and I said nothing because I could not explain my actions. That slap just sort of... came out. We never spoke of this again.

It's not gay if you say "Good game"

To get the horse riled up and go faster

My buddy played high school football. I asked him the same things. He claimed that it was the "only" spot without much padding. So when they wanted to congratulate someone they'd go with the spank. I honestly think he was full of shit and they just did it because "that's what the pros do" type of thing...fucken homos
