I mean I personally don't like the gesture cause boogers are gross. But they actually made it a penalty lol

huh, is there some meaning of nose wipe that I'm unaware of, or is this just a puritanical rule? Generally, I get the other rules emphasized in the video, but nose wipe seems like a NBD

Supposedly in gang culture (specifically the bloods?) it means there's an enemy nearby or it's possibly a threat? Idk, I had assumed it had something to do with "drip", but I'm certainly not one of the cool kids anymore. Really I read it as a puritanical if not institutional bigotry. Listen to him talking about the dancing athlete in the last clip. To me he sounds so disappointed that athletes are allowed to dance and express themselves, but at the end of the day what is sport about if not enjoyment and entertainment?
