When the Falcons win, everyone benefits from Atlanta owner Arthur Blank’s amazing dance moves. Blank has become a staple during the Falcons playoff post-game celebrations.
Blank spoke with 11 Alive about his infamous dance moves.
“It’s going to be the dance of the emotion of the moment, whatever that looks like. If I had to prescribe what a dance like that would look like, it wouldn’t look good. The dances of the emotion and joy are the best and spontaneous,” Blank spoke with 11 Alive.
Blank is known as the co-founder of Home Depot. According to Forbes, Blank is worth $3.3 billion. In an interview with USA Today, Blank credited his mother for his unique dance moves.
“She was a great dancer. The only thing I’m sad about Sunday is that she’s not going to be here with us. But I believe in my heart that she’s floating around up there someplace and looking down and clapping her hands and proud of her son and proud of our franchise,” Blank told the USA Today. His mother passed away in 2015 just before she turned 100.
Blank is one of the more popular owners in the league among players. A big reason for his popularity is his generosity. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Jeff Schultz, Blank paid for every member of the Falcons organization to go to Super Bowl 51.
