Something the NFL Gets Right

I prefer watching baseball to football, but the NFL does at least one thing better than the MLB.

After a baseball game, the winning team celebrates on the field. The losing team goes directly to the locker room.

After a football game, the winning team does celebrate on the field, but the losing team gathers on the field, too. The coaches and players share handshakes, hugs, and well wishes with each other -- and not just with the guys from their own team. (Sometimes there is some ill will, but mostly it's all good!)

Every time we see these exchanges, we are reminded that football is a game. And that keeps it fun. Thanks, NFL.
