NFL player celebrates first career touchdown with Fortnite dance Epic GamesThe Indianapolis Colts\u2019 Nyheim Hines celebrated his first touchdown in his NFL career with a dance from a Fortnite emote. Hines scored the touchdown during his team\u2019s second game against the Washington Redskins. Upon reaching this first major milestone in his career, Hines broke out into Fortnite\u2019s \u2018Orange Justice\u2019 dance on the field, before being surrounded by his cheering teammates. The Orange Justice emote was inspired by the now-famous \u2018Orange Shirt Kid,\u2019 who submitted the dance into Epic Games\u2019 Boogiedown contest. The contest allowed fans to submit dances of their own creation for consideration, with the winner\u2019s moves created as an official emote in Fortnite. Orange Shirt Kid didn\u2019t end up making the cut, much to fans\u2019 dismay. Outcry quickly grew within the Fortnite community, and Epic finally heard them out: Orange Shirt Kid\u2019s dance is now in the game as \u2018Orange Justice,\u2019 as the community popularized the phrase, \u2018Justice for Orange Shirt Kid.\u2019 It seems that Hines isn\u2019t the only member of the Colts to make Fortnite references during a game, either. Tight end Eric Ebron was \u2018revived\u2019 by his team after scoring a touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2018 NFL season opener. He crawled on his hands and knees, mimicking Fortnite\u2019s dizzy action, after which his teammates \u2018revived\u2019 him. He then broke into the game\u2019s \u2018Hype\u2019 emote, famously taken from Blocboy JB\u2019s \u2018Shoot\u2019 dance. While the Colts openly express their love for the game, the NHL has a different stance on the title, asking its players to scrub any mention of Fortnite from their social media. There\u2019s never a bad time for a Fortnite dance-off, though \u2013 and the Colts sure know how to have a good time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
