I mean, I get the notion that Hart shouldn't be dancing, but meh I don't fault him either because I've laughed like a madman while working some awful jobs.I do get how players on this franchise can be beaten down by being on the team because ownership does suck. This particular player doesn’t need the Bengals, he sucks on his own. Maybe he was embracing his sucking and drifted off into a daydream about his bank account and started to dance... I get it. Pride to me means caring enough to give it all you’ve got, putting in full effort. Dancing doesn’t mean that you don’t care but it does give off that impression. I’ve never seen anyone start dancing when they are upset about things. Many fans like players that think losing isn’t acceptable. I do get that if ownership doesn’t feel that way then you kinda breed what you are. Anyways, it’s all a mess right now!
Unfortunately, being a Bengal and having pride aren't things that go hand in hand. What is pride? Winning? Looking miserable when you aren't winning? Smashing the gatorade coolers on the sideline? We seem to have a very tenuous grasp on what we want these players to even do and how they should react to playing for a loser franchise.
It sort of reminds me of one of my buddies who recently had a death in the family and he was like "Well this sucks, but the worst part is that everyone at the funeral is going to be trying to one-up everyone by being the most grief-stricken and judging everyone else's actions." We're losers and we're just going to go after each other...it's human nature.
