It probably came as part of the package. I have never scene it used, so everyone has chosen not to use it and will more than likely continue to do so. Not that I think it's bad. But until there is a thread about jungle tribes of the Amazon I wouldn't know how to use it.
That smiley has been around for as long as I can remember. I can assure you that it wasn't just recently added. Freak procrastinates way too much to do something like that.I've been on this site 5 years. .... I would've noticed something like that.
I won't be so bold to demand that it be taken down, but I would hate for a rival fan, coach or for a potential recruit to see it and get the wrong idea.
