Dabo Swinney didn’t dab after winning a national title, so everyone else should probably stop as well

Y’all, I think the dab is really done. How do I know this? College football.

Clemson beat Alabama in the National Championship last night. The team celebrated by dancing, as they are known to do.

And some hugging.

AND MORE DANCING.

And OK, yes, we did have Deshaun Watson dabbing.

BUT what would have really done wonders for the dab would be if coach DABo Swinney had done it. I mean, he may very well have invented the dab!!!!

(This is not even a little bit true, but in 2015 a Fox News affiliate reported it because they thought it was. But here is Swinney pulling one anyway.)

Great execution. BUT GUESS WHAT. This GIF is from a video more than a year old.

What Dabo does in the privacy of his own home is anyone’s guess, but there doesn’t seem to be any record of him dabbing in public for quite some time. And if the team that won the national college football title can’t even give the dab some airtime in their celebrations, well, it’s not looking good for the sharp, simple dance move that looks like the performer is covering a particularly violent sneeze.

Is the dab truly dead?

NOTE: This story previously reported that no Clemson players dabbed due to gross negligence by the reporter. She is very sorry and thanks Twitter user @Handles_Messiah for pointing out her error.
