Frat in professional sports Reppin'
 
GOMAB!!!! What up to all my blue and white family. I am new to this site, but I'm coming from oklahoma [Beta Epsilon (BElly of da BEast) Chapter].
I was going through some of the other threads and notice all the congrats to all frat in the NFL who handled their business, either in the Super Bowl or the Pro Bowl. Don't get me wrong, I am loving that frat is succeeding, but what I wonder is why don't we see ANY bruhs reppin Sigma. I've seen ques in professional leagues (i.e. Shaq - NBA, Steve McNair - NFL, etc.) throughing up the hooks, but I have never seen a Sigma throwin up the blue. True enough, not everyone who see is will no what it means, but anyone who is in a BGLO will. Even Stuart Scott (ESPN anchor and member of A Phi A) reps every once in a while, and when he sees a que throwin up the hooks he gives them love on Sportscenter.
I know we have a lot of bruhs doing their things in a lot of sports, and I would just like to know why none of them rep Sigma in the open. I know I would have gotten crazy hyped if Bro. Hines Ward would have thrown up the blue when he scored that touchdown in Super Bowl XL; or Bro. Joey Porter when he made a big tackle.
I am interested to know what you all think on this topic. Feel free to hit me up and holla at me.

Probably, because our sign is confused with P-Funk. THe running back for the longhorns is frat and I heard once that he trhew up the Blue, at the crowd, and they thought it was longhorns so they threw it back at him.

Thanks for the reply. From my experience, I have found that there are two ways to throw up the Blue (with and without the thumb.) It really depends on what area of the country you or your chapter are from. Here in Oklahoma, I know some brothers who do both.

Also, if he threw up the Blue, those who count, the Greeks, and GDI's who are contemplating becoming Greek, will know what he is talking about.

Nice talking at ya. It is good to here other peoples opinions.
