The habit gets a new name.
Not shaking hands after a game is now a “sign of disrespect.” Texas Tech softball players stayed in the dugout to let the Longhorns celebrate their national championship win. The Red Raiders later congratulated their opponents and took photos. It’s a “new tradition” in sportsmanship. The outrage is manufactured, and the team is just a target for rival fanbases.
Texas Tech softball players are just “bad sports” for not shaking hands, but actually, they were just letting the winners have their moment.
