American footballer punches a bird in celebration (Video)

This is certainly a novel way to celebrate.

During the Monday night NFL game between the San Diego Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Chargers' quarter-back Philip Rivers threw his second touchdown of the night to Antonio Gates. He was understandably chuffed about his assist, and so celebrated with the age-old clenched fist punch of joy - but this wasn't your standard air shot of celebration. No, it seems that Rivers spotted a bird flying past and decided to punch the passing passerine clean out of the sky. That's what it looked like to avid American football viewers anyway... https://twitter.com/wild_Native1225/status/653828249202495488 https://twitter.com/RoleyRiles/status/653811759971614720 https://twitter.com/KENNotBeStopped/status/653808468038676480 https://twitter.com/CoreyBoyd/status/653783296967618560 https://twitter.com/JoeyCarusoJr/status/653779937363689472 https://twitter.com/nikkifredericks/status/653804217929367553 Did Rivers cruelly KO a feathered victim just for the sheer hell of it? Judge for yourselves... Update: It seems as though it might have been his glove, rather than a bird. Plenty weren't sure, though.
