The object pictured above is a gate. Gates were first made famous during the first battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, when Xerxes convinced his Persian army to jump over a gate in order to out flank the Spartans. Since this day, the term gate has been used by people with no sense of humor to describe bad things.
One recent example of this was Spygate, where... fuck it, if you don't know what that is, stop reading. Anyway, mainstream sports people started adding -gate to the whole Belichick camera incident, and everybody felt clever for being involved. Now we've got Bootgate, a reference to Tom Brady's foot... which is in a boot.
Get it?
