If you’ve never seen them, there’s a great collection of prank videos on the internet of dads who normally are always sporting a beard going clean-shaven and revealing it to their babies. Almost always, the baby’s reaction is one of terror, as the man they believe to be their dad looks like a complete stranger.
We are literally all that baby every time we see Dustin Johnson, one of the great always-bearded athletes in sports, go completely clean-shaven. On Wednesday, he did just that, showing up to his press conference at East Lake beard-less. Tell me you don’t feel like one of those poor infants seeing their fraudulent father’s naked face right now:
No, no, no and NOPE. There are some athletes who simply look way, way better with facial hair, full beards, specifically. DJ, James Harden, Joe Thornton, etc. Change is actually bad, guys.
