Baseballs would be a lot more interesting if you could hurt the batter.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

When you find yourself arguing with an idiot, you might want to rethink who the idiot really is.

you guys can make fun of american football all you want, but it is a dangerous sport. And americans are just bigger and stronger than the rest of the worldOriginally posted by Alexander's Horse
er poor examples
Its like your sports, why do they wear all that padding?
My 8 year old is in a rugby carnival today - no padding, just full on body contact and violence. Its freeezing today and the ground will be a mud bowl. Looks like its going to rain. They will play on.
The tackling is spectacular - little kids are fearless. With any luck none of them will lose any teeth or have to go to hospital.
Then we see gridiron and think, what a bunch of girls those Americans are. Helmets for Pete's sake???
Take baseball, if the player gets hit that's bad. In cricket, hurting the player is good. They go for the fingers, toes, groin, ribs, head. Cricketers play on with broken bones. If you can run anymore, they bring on a runner. If you get it you have to take it like a man. Baseball players who get hit throw a hissy fit.
. Or maybe that's just african americans 
. I won't say so because that could be deemed racist by calling them stronger (you'd think that would be a good thing ).

For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment
