Gunnersaurus 200 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 On 25/01/2023 at 21:37, Spike said: They wear protection because Teddy Roosevelt made them wear it in the 1900s. It used to be more similar to rugby but the entire sport was essentially a free-for-all maul, with few rules on how and what a tackle is, players often died. Instead of adjusting the rules and learning to tackle safely; the forward pass and helmets were added. What the players wear now is just the evolution of that. So is that a yes they do need the protective gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate, only just seen this. After JJ got injured and Kirk died, I’ve kinda switched off as my Vikes have no chance this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 5,103 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I’m going nuts with the misattribution of scrum with the tush push. It’s a bloody maul not a scrum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,380 Posted February 7 Administrator Share Posted February 7 Superbowl on Sunday. @Spike @DeadLinesman @JoshBRFC @Danny you going to watch? I've assigned myself the night shift on Sunday with the baby and taking Monday off to recover (read: sleep) afterwards. Hope it's a good a game as last year.

Chiefs, all the right wingers want the 49ers to win, which is largely ironic in itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how they think Taylor Swift and Joe Biden have conspired to give so that the liberal haven of... Kansas City, Missouri... and defeat the conservative stronghold of...

It’s more than that, Chiefs winning means Kelce wins (Mr Vaccine according to Aaron Rodgers), which means Swift wins, and Swift wants people to vote, and when people vote en masse Republicans lose.

Has Taylor Swift ever made any political endorsements before? It seems sort of like the kind of thing I wouldn't expect a well liked pop star to do because doing anything divisive would probably hurt her image.

The from what I understand the numbers usually suggest that Democrats typically receive a larger number of votes but Republicans win more constituencies, so for Democrats to win it has to be an overwhelming majority to make up for their weakness in lower population density constituencies. Seven of the past eight popular votes were won by the Democrats, but Republicans won three of those elections. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1035521/popular-votes-republican-democratic-parties-since-1828/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
