6 dabs that prove dabbing is dead
Cam Newton introduced dabbing to the football world back in Week 10, riling up the Tennessee Titans (and some misguided fans) in the process.
It was a more innocent time. Dabbing was fresh, exciting, and dripping with coolness. It was a perfect complement to the upstart Panthers.
He didn't know it, but Newton inadvertently set dabbing on the path toward its inevitable demise in that moment. As the Panthers' wins piled up, the craze permeated society, losing every shred of coolness it once had along the way.
Things hit a new low in Week 16, when two different NFL owners dabbed.
It's over, folks. If you have any doubt, the photos and videos below will wash it away.
R.I.P. dabbing.
