My BFFs girlfriend comes running off the field towards my wife and I, holding her face, and says (very calmly) that she thinks she may have broke her nose. She takes her hands away from her face and her nose has a triangle dent like this < and is pouring blood. My wife and I just stare at her. Then my wife kinda yells YES IT'S FUCKING BROKEN. And this woman feels her nose and just pushes it back straight. Flares her nostrils and says, Eh, I can breath, I'm fine and returns to the fucking field. This is normal rugby behavior.

Man, I puked at a game after running the field for a try and got benched. I wish I had this girls coaches.

u/LibRAWRian Aug 12 '24

My BFF was the coach and she was fucking this girl, so she wasn't going to get benched. Also, puking is a big no-no until well after the game and maybe 3 hours into the party. I've never felt so unsafe for everyone involved than at a girls rugby party. I once did shots from a 12 foot long beer bong that had to be filled from the second floor at a rugby party.

Unless you’re King Ritchie McCaw and it’s the final of the World Cup against France in NZ and it’s 77 minutes into an 80 minute game and we (NZ) are leading by 1. RC had a yak on the sideline in between plays lol, poor fucker was dead on his feet but no way in hell he was leaving that field, short of being dead, but even then we’d have revived him and sent him back in there.

I was playing a rugby game as a kid in the snow and was feeling a little cold. Asked the coach to sub me back in so I could warm up but when I went on I had a hard time staying up. Ended up going to the paramedics to get checked and it turned out I was hypothermic, I swear when you're playing rugby you just don't notice that sort of stuff

Specifically Women's Rugby players. I played rugby into my 30s as a guy, and the most insane, wildest, damn nearly disturbingly hardcore people I've ever met were female rugby players. They're a whole other thing.

I'm loving that the woman's game is getting more recognition, they've been putting in the hard yards for years.

I was (saw) an advertisement where the Italian rugby national team were sponsored by some car rental.

I never knew they had such rough and robust men. I'm used to seeing dramatic soccer where they roll in the grass, covering their face after getting hit in the leg.

But those guys looked rough.

I used to coach high school rugby. Our team was all boys but some of their sisters/cousins/girl friends wanted to play too so we started a women's 7s team. I've played rugby all my life in several different countries, and the first women's 7s tournament we attended was one of the most physical events I've ever seen. And it wasn't some kind of unhinged violence, they just had zero regard for their own bodies and went into every contact at 150%.

Hey, that's incredibly rude to say…

…about the Neanderthals. It's believed that they were actually a rather smart, emotional, and cultured subspecies of human on the same level as Homo Sapiens at the time. Please don’t sully their reputation by comparing them to her.

78

u/ensalys Aug 12 '24

Yeah, I won't have this slander of neanderthals.

79

u/KonoAnonDa Aug 12 '24

Fun fact: the image in pop culture of Neanderthals being hunched over was due to the fact that the first skeleton of them discovered died with severe arthritis, giving them a horrible posture which the discoverers at the time didn’t realize was from arthritis.

45

u/swanfirefly Aug 12 '24

And due to cases like that one, in more modern times we've realized that Neanderthals cared for their old, sick, and disabled for many years, even when it was obvious that person couldn't contribute to the tribe physically.

26

u/KonoAnonDa Aug 12 '24

Oh yeah. I remember reading somewhere about a Homo Erectus fossil (a good while before even Neanderthals came about) that was discovered with only one tooth, yet it was clear that he had lived a long time in that condition before dying relatively old. Therefore, someone had to have been taking care of him and loved him since he would have needed help to eat.

18

u/blessthebabes Aug 13 '24

I live in a rural area without good healthcare, and I promise he could eat with one tooth. See it all the time lol. I suppose they would have lived much longer without losing their teeth, though, so you're probably right. Some people here are without teeth before they are 20 (and not all chose dentures).

Strong jaw, to make up for the astoundingky weak intellect.

Regarding most people, it seems unfair & cruel to use unfortunate/unattractive physical aspects of their bodies as insults. Many of us have physical flaws/quirks we're sensitive about, & it seems unfair to poke fun at others for things they cannot control.

But with eejits such as MTG, Lauren Boebert, Drumpf & the rest of their ilk, it feels a bit more like treating them in a way that they're more than happy to do towards their opponents. A reaping as they sow kinda thing‽

Yeah I don't want to be all like "transphobia hurts cis women too!" because we're not the most harmed by the transphobic bs... but this is what I have been saying every time trans panic rears its head. I am an amateur female athlete - I've raced trans women, beaten trans women, and been beaten by trans women. Trans women are not an existential threat to women's sports. But I know a lot of (cis) women who are broad shouldered, or six feet tall, or muscular - I can't think of a faster way to destroy women's sports than to normalize this kind of rhetoric on the start line or podium.

In my opinion, your attitude is the best one to have. Where you don't let them get you angry or make you feel scared enough to hide away. The only thing they're worthy of is ridicule - they're weird and embarrassing.

Probably something about someone taking someone else's job or opportunity to have sex, I would imagine. It always boils down to entitlement somewhere.

"And only I can fix this, at the upcoming election"

They're not patriotic. They'd rather have any other country with a more feminine looking competitor beat us just to spite an American woman for being tall, having muscles, cutting her hair short or dying her hair a non-traditional color. This is a recurring theme for them. Only thing weirder than being super nationalistic about sporting competitions is hate-watching your own country and rooting for them to lose.

u/Stopikingonme Aug 13 '24

They’d actually rather have neither playing sports at all. Unless it’s an ironic “Powder Puff Game” during homecoming. It’s unbecoming of a girl to play in any sport.

It’s something they’ve hung on to that society began to grow out of back in the 1950s. What a weird thing to cling to for some long. It’s all just so weird.

Yeah, they can't really talk about how they'll move more of the tax burden from the rich to the middle class. They can't really talk about undermining the public educating system. They can't talk about selling public lands or removing regulations that keep corporations from dumping shit everywhere.

So genitals it is.

It is to remind other hateful people, that the republican party hates the same people as them. Issues are irrelevant to that group. They only want to know: "am I part of that in group" and "do they hate the same people as me for the out group ". For bonus points with Christo-Fascists racist Nazis - they like to hear HOW will that "out group" full of people they hate be punished, harmed or disadvantaged to ensure the "in group" stays in control and FEELS important and powerful.

Example : women are not people, they are incubators. Thus abortion needs to be outlawed and change divorce laws so women can't leave abusive marriages.

Women you are NOT part of the republican Christo-Fascists in-group. They see you as LESS OF A PERSON.

Reminds me of the Dark Knight Rises. Someone discovered Batman's identity. Then Morgan Freeman's character, Lucius Fox, challenged him saying:

"Let me get this straight, you think that your client, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante, who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands, and your plan is to blackmail this person?"

Same applies to JK Rowling. If she doesn't like Imane Khelif, then Rowling is free anytime to challenge her to a bout in the ring. I'd pay big money to see Imane teach Rowling a lesson.

1st ever Olympics medal for US Women's Rugby, congrats to the whole team! If conservatives start accusing every women sports player of being trans, just because they're not attractive enough to them, within a few years there would be very few medals to win. It's almost if conservatives want the US to start slipping down the medals table... just because 🤦🏼‍♀️
