One of the biggest traditions within the Dallas lockeroom is the questioning. The questioning is a daily, random question posed to both the coaches and the players of the Birddogs, that can be on any and every topic under the sun. For example, the most recent question was about what type of music would be most effective for the police to torture you with. You know, a fun topic for the whole family! You'd think this would the ownership trying to collect blackmail on the players in case unionization efforts went through, but no, jreed was one of the people who actually awnsered. Although, he didn't give an awnser, just said the topic was also discussed in the Berlin locker room, so... maybe this was blackmail for the Weekly Mirror in retrospect. Fortunately for us, this wasn't one of the more popular questions proposed, and didn't generate much discussion other than some Dallas players whinging on modern pop or country music (and we play in Dallas lmao). But that's ok. Due to the random nature of the questions asked, not every single question is going to be a winner.
Some questions really get deep and personal though. One of my favorite questions that got asked was a simple "how do you practice self-care". It was a deeply introspective question, and led to some very personal awnsers from the Dallas community that frankly is better left in the locker room, but I can say participating in that conversation is what helped Akane-- no, frankly, myself-- get out of their self-imposed shell and connect with the rest of them. And in that sense, I greatly appreciate the questioning. Just having a new daily topic to potentially debate about just leads to really interesting and introspective conversations, as long as the question itself doesn't suck. Which sometimes it does, unfortunately.
