The football player feels that his creativity is shown through wearing white socks instead of black socks. As well, he feels that everyone else follows him in changing their sock color and that the creativity of wearing white socks instead of black should be credited to the person who changed first - him. The musician seems to be a bit more creative and energetic in the way she told about her musical experiences.
