Why are Bananas so popular? In short, pro sports in general have been progressing forward over time with no real connections between the audience. Cole, who's also known as “Yellow Tux Jesse,” has dedicated his efforts towards what had been lost by studying other forms of successful sports and integrating them into something truly special.
