baseball is awesome and if you disagree you are wrong the end
Televised baseball is less exciting than televised tennis.
Yeah, I said it.
gotta admit
the one time i went to a football game it was 'aight
still not sold on watching it on TV though
maybe a world cup final, watching the best of the best play can be fun
but ugh 90 minutes
The hardcore soccer fans hate the quality of play in the World Cup and drone on endlessly about how the only stuff worth watching is top-level club stuff.
As an American, woo nationalism, go World Cup, etc.
that would mostly be because they're ridiculously tribal about their local sides

Watching football is boring to me. American football is 15 seconds of movement 5 minutes of commercials and yawn.
I enjoy baseball. At the stadium is best then on the radio then TV. Because it just kind of has a good tempo on the radio.
But again one of [chat]'s revolving topics, "Baseball sucks har har." I am not sure how are talking about this when the season isn't even going on.
Basically, NERDS!
but but but
this complaint applies to baseball too!
Way less commercials.
Football is like a commercial after every pitch in how it is set up for TV. Baseball do to how the sport is can be 5 minutes to 30 minutes with no commercials and just the game going.
But still at this point I think this is just one of those NERDS! arguments.

It is interesting how 'privilege' has come to imply 'injustice'.
Which I guess is true in most cases? Like, as a white dude I am privileged in pretty much all my human interactions and mostly because people who are not white or are not dudes have to deal with Bullshit.
And I originally intended to say something like 'health does not recognize your unprivileged status, it just is' but couldn't find a way to word that in a manner that made it agnostic to healthcare because yeah doctors are humans and studies show that I'd get better and more comprehensive treatment even controlling for socioeconomic factors (though you wouldn't want to because, hey, intersectionalism).
So I guess the strongest statement that I can make is that the Tumblr person in question might be dealing with institutions that are sometimes guilty of pathologizing the Other and while her physician's diagnosis of high blood pressure might be an inaccurate one and that inaccuracy might be due to some bias against fat people BUT that one should generally take the advice of medical professionals and there is generally the option to get a second opinion. Making a Tumblr post ain't never resolved someone's prescription medication dilemma.
the bias isn't the... "wrong" kind of bias. Thin privilege? Less chance of cardiovascular problems, or risk of diabetes.
which is why a doctor would be more likely to think someone overweight's blood pressure might be worrying.

i think rugby is a fake game that only exists to keep guys with no necks from having too much pent up aggression
no rugby is real
cricket is the one we made up to fuck you with you guys
Who would get the worst of it... a rugby player who suddenly had pads on and was getting hit like in the NFL, or an NFL player with no pads getting hit like they do in rugby?
Get a guy like JJ Watt I mean, since rugby is populated entirely with guys who could be tight ends and linebackers.
Do you think they would have as easy a time with it if they had a guy like Moreno bear down on them full blast?

Rugby folks grab each others balls and squeeze to get them to drop the ball. I have a feeling they could stand up to a football player.

Welp, officially rejected from the two graduate schemes I applied for so far. This is not encouraging. If I can't even get into the interview round, what chance do I actually have for landing a job?

Well we can't know the whole situation, but I imagine that there is a nonzero amount of bullshit that fat people have to deal with that thin people don't, and that this bullshit does extend into medical practice. That doesn't speak to the veracity nor the efficacy of this Tumbling, but I don't think it's a controversial statement.

terrible terrible things happen in piles for fumbles in football. Also, rugby players are by far inferior athletes to the NFL. and they are too slow to play in the NFL.
DirecTV does these NFL Short Cut things where they clip a game down into 30 minutes by just splicing together actual play footage and even then they often end up skipping some plays to fit the 30 minute window. 11 minutes seems pretty off.
But they probably also show the parts where the players line up and what not. I assume this is only taking into account once each play actually starts.
No they pretty much show snap to tackle with maybe 1-2 seconds on either end so the viewer isn't totally disoriented.
After more thought and looking at more numbers the 11min seems pretty accurate.
So there may be something you aren't considering.

I honestly think rugby people would be caught off guard by nfl players just because of their speed. They aren't just 6'4 250 pound animals, they are fast as shit
I remember seeing some clip of an American tearing up rugby because he was just so much faster than everyone else

i dont know what that is i googled and only found the norweigan defense contractor
the purpose of the game is to move the leather egg forward and also to maim as many people as possible
the catch is that you can only throw the leather egg backwards. and also no one wears any pads so gruesome injuries are super common.
The best sport is professional full contact bass music
none of this meant anything to me
