“Players roll around on the ground and shriek in pain when someone lightly brushes up against them”
Sounds like the NBA trying to draw fouls in the paint making themselves fly 20 feet backwards from the slightest breeze.
Baseball is watching two guys play catch. There is nothing going on so there is no risk of contact. They only sweat because it's hot outside.
yeah, thin because they run like stallions. Try letting someone glance their cleat on your shin and see how straight faced you can stay.
Hitting a ball with a stick is hard, but so is throwing a horseshoe directly on the pin.
RE: Try letting someone glance their cleat on your shin and see how straight faced you can stay.
In high school PE class, one of our school soccer stars was holding the ball between his ankles, daring my attack, preparing to dazzle me with some dazzling soccer be-dazzlement. I rapidly invaded his personal space and swept my lower shin and ankle thru beneath him, flipping him sideways, completely off his feet and sending the ball all helter-skelter down the field. He hollered up from behind me, “Hey, you can’t do that!” At least he didn’t cry.
I saw a stat once that midfielders run about 5 miles in a game.
That’s why I played defense.
