That’s not how you hug a player

Sniper.

Paul Thomas

”We won! We won! Oh my god, we scored a stoppage time winner! I should storm the field!

”I’m on the field. Oh my god, I’m on the field. I’m going to hug a player.

“YES, YES, I’M GOING TO HUG A PLAY...” splat.

You, sir, are not an athlete.

Whereas some people get paid to play in matches, you have to pay to attend them. This is why.
