I don't think people realize why he wears his hat backwards.

I know right?.... I wouldn't be surprised if the cowboys organization hired someone to help guide dez bryant... it's stretching the truth regardless.

Education is key but this is a message board and that is frowned upon I guess
Trooper Taylor Story - "Thug Hat" explained

From the NOLA.com/Times Pic
Yes, taking the hat off instead of wearing it backwards is so respectful. WTF is it that people still get offended by the hat being backwards - only for black people though - white folks can do it because they just cant be thugs, they are just misguided

quote:
The cap, though, is a different matter.
“When I was 12 years old, my father would come into the room because he was in charge of waking up the boys,” said Taylor, who was reared in a family of 16. “My mom would wake the girls up, and my dad would wake the boys up at 5:30 in the morning.
“Well, he came into the room, and he was waking me up, and he was about to take his hat and let me flip it backward and put his mask on that he wore at work every day. And I’d been doing that since I was like 3 years old, and I thought it was special between me and him. He’d always let me do it.
“Well, when I was 12, he came in to do it, and I was like, ‘Dad, don’t kiss on me. I’m not turning that hat backward today. I’m 12 years old. I’m too big for that.’ He left and went to work, and I never saw him again.”
Taylor’s father died that day. Taylor, then an eighth-grader, was told his father had a heart attack while walking from one job to the next.
“And the last thing I told my father was that I wasn’t going to let him kiss me and say he loves me,” Taylor said. “So I learned a valuable lesson. So I don’t go a day without telling my players, my family, how much I love them. And I wear that hat backward as a remembrance of him. Every day I put it on, I remember what happened that morning. And every day, I make sure I tell the people that I care about how much that I love them.”

It's the last way he saw his dad before he passed away, pretty good way to show respect or remembrance. Posted on 5/12/11 at 6:41 pm to blzr
Again,take the damn hat off period.....

I could make a crud joke here about pants and ankles, but I will refrain.
Bottom line is , I can think of many more mature ways to remember my father, and a backwards hat would be out the window.

Xactly...

Sorry if it seems immature to you, God forbid you lost your father and a couple message-board badasses called your way of honoring "immature".
The point of honoring someone is to do what means something to you. Maturity isn't an issue so long as its not obscene.
And it isn't.

So what's up with the towel waving? Did his mom used to pop him on the arse with a towel?

My guess is that Bama fans that complain about Trooper's hat and towel, love this guy:

I kind of wish Malzahn would wear his visor upside and backwards to piss people off.

The story about his father story is true

If it wasn't, he'd obviously have it on sideways
