The Panthers aren’t dabbing anymore. They’re doing this instead (and getting penalized for it)
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Last year Cam Newton took “The Dab” and turned it into a craze when it became his go-to touchdown celebration. Now it appears the Carolina Panthers have a new dance for 2016.
We have many hip millennials in the SB Nation office, and nobody is quite sure what this one is. It has the precursors of Cam’s dab, but ends with a palm thrust.
The dance itself was fine, but it cost the Panthers a penalty for choreographing the celebration. Their mistake was bringing in a second player. Yes it’s dumb and not fun, but it’s not going to change any time soon.
