Dear Panthers, please dab during the national anthem

The sports editor of the Charlotte Observer shared this concerned letter to the editor, pleading with the Panthers to put their hands over their hearts during the national anthem.

Here is a counter plea, from me:

Remember Panthers, bend your arm and stick your face into your elbow.

Please, please, please, Panthers, dab during our national anthem.

The camera is on every one of you, and America is watching. Look at your dab. Look at your dab. Look at your dab.

You have a great team, and a lot of talented dancers! It is disrespectful not to get in there, get in there and dab.

Show everyone that Charlotte knows how to pipe it up, pipe it up, pipe it up, pipe it up.

— Michael Katz, the Internet

Do the right thing, Panthers: Dab during the national anthem and beat the Seahawks by 70. It’s the most American thing you can do.
