Detroit Red Wings Center Dylan Larkin became an overnight gay icon last week when he talked all about his formidable posterior in an online advertisement for State & Liberty, a men’s clothing company that caters to male athletes.

“My name is Dylan Larkin and I have hockey butt,” the 23-year-old said before showing off his plump buttocks, enormous quads, and muscular thighs for the camera.

“I can’t really find an off-the-rack pant to fit me,” Larkin lamented. “Even when I get a pair of pants custom-made, I can’t move around and stretch in them. Every time I bend down, I feel like I’m going to bust through the seams.”

But Larkin is hardly the first person to struggle with this problem, which, for the record, is not exclusively a hockey thing, or even a problem really. Many male athletes from many different sports deal the same thing. And there’s a while Instagram page to prove it.

@sportsbubblebutt was launched earlier this year with the aim of raising awareness to this important issue.
