For the Love of God, Make it Stop: The Thumb-Sucking Celebration

Here’s the thing: A lot of people have kids. Most of them love those kids very much. But do you see those people running around with their thumbs in their mouths after they, I don’t know, make a successful investment, or teach a class really, really well? No. Because they stopped doing that when they were three. And, more importantly, they know that, sometime soon, someone will have to shake that hand. Do you know how many germs are in your mouth?

Francesco Totti? Robinho? Luis Garcia? Yeah, I’m looking at you. We know you love your kids, alright? That’s wonderful for you and, I’m sure, for them. But keep your damn hands out of your mouths. Please.

  Spot on.
  Since the World Cup of 1994 (How is your son Bebeto?) we have to know which players are going to be or were fathers recently. Example: Benfica defender Luisão is going to be or has been a father recently… How do I know this… The lad scored two goals recently… One more to add to your list…
  But at least there is an explanation for these celebrations. FCP player Lizandro Lopez has decided to be original and celebrates his goals with a celebration which resembles the TV series “Third rock from the Sun” greeting…

  Thank you, Nuno! I’m glad I’m not the only one who is over the thumbsucking. (And I will now start to disdain Luisão, as well.)

  I just went to YouTube to check out Lopez, I had no idea 3rd Rock had reached all the way to Argentina!

  You found it? Great. When it posted before I did a quick research on Youtube but came out with nothing. I must emphatise the word “quick”…. watching FCP goals is not among my favorite hobbies.
