and then bapping them in the face afterwards, truly the most heinous of criminals.

that is the face of a criminal

that could be true, the opposite is true for people in larger vehicles though, you feel safer driving in a larger, higher vehicle, which is true, but the problem is that you’re more dangerous to other drivers on the road as well.

yeah, the irony in protective gear causing more damage is due to players quite literally just impacting harder in general. You wouldn’t want to do it without any protective gear, and you wouldn’t and if you did impact, it was a lot more gracefully.

Though it makes sense misuse of them would also cause problems lol, reminds me of the DOT standards for motorcyle helmets, utter dogshit standard, and you should basically just ignore it, but it’s also “technically better than nothing”

ok i see, i know that spots have changed over time, i’m just not really sure how they’ve changed. Obviously football has a lot of protective gear now, though it’s debatable how well it works.

The sport was extremely dangerous at the time because of the way mass formations of players would impact into each other at full speed. More rule changes were needed to make it safer, and the field was made wider to give more room for players to run around the other team instead of ploughing through.

is this rugby or the variant of it known as american football?

i absolutely agree with your kid, get that kid on marketing stat!

yeah, most sports include increased rates of brain damage, weirdly enough, but to my understanding, as somehow who doesn’t know much about sports, rugby is just football (the american one) but with more contact and less padding afaik. Is that accurate?

I don’t have a problem with people voluntarily giving themselves brain damage, i think, but it’s definitely an odd problem to have.

bonus points if it’s horse based (though that’s just jousting)

oh right, that show, i remember hearing about it at one point, what a weird show.

it would certainly be an interesting one, though if i had to guess, the chicken airplane one is probably similar enough…

as long as you ignore the chicken and the airplane part lol.

i think we need a normie olympics, it’d be like the paralympics, but for people randomly selected from the average population.

rugby is the sport predisposed to head injuries correct?

That’ll certainly make for an interesting game, regardless of who plays.

it reminds me of the recent volleyball injury case that went around. Trans student spiked a volley ball into the head of another student (not exactly intentionally) and it injured them quite significantly. Naturally her first reaction was to bitch and moan about it, but at the end of the day, nobody would want to be spiked in the face with a volleyball, from a man, women, child, anybody. That shit would at the very least concuss you, and might even kill you in all honesty.

the fact that the other student was trans is probably more inconsequential than you would think.

i mean, yeah as far as test goes, it’s a PED, but at the end of the day, does it really matter significantly? I’m not sure.

Sometimes people have test so high it’s literally impossible to measure, there’s no real reason women can’t also experience high test either, though high test is also arguably bad.

Sure they might be physically bigger, but the hard to answer question here is if it’s any more significant than your average olympic athlete. With how prevalent trans people are (not very) and how common it would be for those trans people to be athletes (even less likely) i’m not sure it’s a huge concern or even a significant consideration.

At the end of the day, you’re already sampling for the most unusual, and weirdly built people, that’s why it’s the olympics. Excluding trans people from that seems like it might be a bit more redundant than necessary.

If it’s a real concern, proper class weighting would help, that’s a valid strategy, but another strategy is to simply have multiple medal winning categories.

hmm yes, looks like a cat to me, this is a certified boi!

duality of cat

this bear isn’t in the forest though.

can confirm, that this is in fact a cat,

I vote we name it kat.

fluff, just to be confusing.
