Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The alien would likely perceive that the football player is exhibiting pride in their accomplishment based on the body language displayed after scoring a touchdown. This may include chest-puffing, high-fiving teammates, and other confident gestures. While dance may be a part of the celebration, it would not necessarily be a focal point for the alien's interpretation of the body language. Additionally, attraction to a mate would not be a likely interpretation in this context. The physical movements of the player would be relevant to the interpretation, but the overall impression of pride would be the most salient perception.
