Jumping over the net[edit]

It used to be the etiquette in tennis that the winner jumped over the net to congratulate his/her opponent. When did this custom end? And why can't I find it in the tennis or history of tennis article? SpinningSpark 18:42, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are many comments on this question in Google. This one covers it pretty well.[1] They don't seem to know exactly when it faded, but it's just not done anymore. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:03, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sketch based on Jay-Z song[edit]

I remember a funny sketch on YouTube based on Jay-Z's song Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)... and the lyrics "Rich niggas, black Bar Mitzvahs Mazel tov, it's a celebration bitches, "L'chaim!"" The joke was that Jay-Z had become an Orthodox Jew and was being welcomed into the community. I can no longer find it on the internet. Does anyone remember it? It might a been produced by CollegeHumor or SNL. Thanks! P. S. Burton (talk) 23:34, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I found it on Vimeo. It was called "Deconstructing Jay-Z: Losing My Religion" and made by The Real. It was not as funny as I remembered. P. S. Burton (talk) 09:43, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
