13、t is our way to represent where were from and tell people that were proud of it.”Like most dance steps and slang words, no one really knows who started the latest thing. One of the first documented accounts of jersey-popping occurred in December 2000, when Earl Watson faced the student section and t

14、ugged at the front of his jersey after his team erased a 19-point deficit against their opponents.“Basketball is an urban sport, a hip-hop sport, and what youre seeing right now comes from that,”Knight said. “If a guy is wearing a really nice shirt on the street and he wants to show it off to everyo

21、couraged self-consciousness and introspection and, as some worried, excesses of vanity.By the 19th century, it was the machines of the Industrial Revolution the power loom, the motor, the turbine that prompted concern about the effects of technology on the person.

22、alienated the worker from what he was toiling to produce, transforming him into a cripple, a monster.
