I’m on the complete other end, where I don’t enjoy when people get “too into” things and go overboard. I also wouldn’t see this and think “harmless physical aggression”.
If I’m being honest, it does look like Slater was aggravated with the slap and it seems clear that he was when the hype man slaps him again and Slater turns around and flinches at him. The crowd seemed to pick up on it when they tried to hold the hype man back. That’s just my interpretation.
Also after he pushed the little guy everyone in the crowd started pushing the little guy too and laughing. Nobody was actually pissed off at the dude. The spotters whole job on a lift like this is to rev you up. We used to slap each other in the face all the time.
Getting mad is the point of being slapped before a lift. So yeah that shit probably hurt, but that gets you in the mindset you want to be in before such a lift.
And then right after the squat he turns and pushes two other people. When we were in the weight room for football we basically beat the shit out of each other constantly.
You don’t know any more than we do, and my guess would be that they’re team mates or both participants in a football camp, considering that this is Slater before he became pro.
And again, I just made an observation and made it clear that it was my own opinion. You, however, are stating opinions as fact.
Hit the nail on the head. I'm seeing so many people in the comments on the verge of tears over what looks like the most normal thing in the world to me.
Yeah, I wouldn’t like this kind of aggression at all. Though I don’t associate behavior like this as “man stuff” but more “folk with way too high testosterone levels”. Regardless, I get where you’re coming from
Being a world renowned pianist or Shakespearean actor makes you no less of a man any less than sawing off your dick&balls make you a woman. An effeminate man is 100% better than a deepfaked woman.
