My highschool was transitioning from a rah-rah sportsball curriculum to yoga, free play sports, and lots of cardio. All the meathead boys still went to the weight room to grunt homo-erotically at each other, but all the girls, gays, and girls-to-be just did a lot of running. And, speaking as a lifelong lardtub, I liked it way more than SPORTS SPORTS. The instructor who was into this was really kind to me, and legitimately inspired me to lose weight and eat healthier. (I cut out all soda in high school where my normal diet was taco bell and boomer-meal cassarole carbfests.) Like, I have no doubt that weight room, when combined with cardio and flexibility, can be a massive aid to overall health. But there's a reason it's mostly straight dudes and butch women who do it. And for gay soyboy cucks like me yoga and T-blockers work. :p

In my high school we played ad hoc contact football at lunch on one of the big fields behind a big building with a bunch of classrooms in it. No pads or anything just your regular clothes. It was a lot of fun for us but it was rowdy as hell and somewhat violent (in a good natured competitive way). In retrospect I'm a little surprised none of the teachers cared lol

This is honestly the first time I've ever seen someone say that weightlifting is a straight dude only thing. It's certainly not my experience. Is this a real stereotype/trend?

Sweat slicked dudes breathing heavily in a chromed out mirror wall bdsm chamber, grunting and straining and spotting each other as they grip thick hard bars before scurrying to the change rooms so they can stare at each other's toned bodies. "I'm so straight brah!" "Me too brah! Me too!"

No pads or anything just your regular clothes. A lot of the suggestions for "fixing" football involve taking the pads away. People without pads don't tend to slam their heads together repeatedly. I've played both ways and tackle with no pads sure seemed to result in less injuries.

It looks like American football without pads and helmets to someone who doesn't care about either of those sports. I loved weight training in high school and I'm not a butch. It's good to lift weights and run since they help your cardiovascular system in different ways.

bob dobbs is dead posted:i guess lots of trans peeps do weightlifting before they transition just like theres a lotta trans peeps in the military cuz its so coded masculine good point. Let's add girls trying to be boys, boys who look like girls, and stronk nonbinary people. It's hardly the kind of place I'd walk into now that I'm sporting a d cup up top and a dick cup down below. My point is that a space can be homoerotic and misogynist and often a very aggressive culture that can make yoga, crossfit, and other metrosexual exercise a better choice for many, and a part of exercise that shouldn't be ignored for being totes gay. Plus I haven't even touched on the whole accessibility concerns and how flexibility and cardio affect every moment of your life while I'm rarely called upon to lift 300 pounds for a few seconds. (why do sports people like putting their dicks into small, crushing places around sweaty men)

I've played both ways and tackle with no pads sure seemed to result in less injuries. I played Rugby and American football in high school and there is definitely a level of intensity in tackling with pads and without. Being constricted by the shoulder pads and helmet basically meant your best method of tackling a guy was just running into him as hard as you can and hope you could knock a guy going full speed off his balance. Whereas Rugby coaches always stressed wrapping up your target to bring him down. There's also more of caution when two Rugby guys are about to collide in that you inherently slow down for each other before contact where Football was literally 'try to run through this guy' and with that level of safety equipment on you, you definitely felt like you could do it.

It's more complicated, there would still be passing, field goals, and of course pauses to allow ad breaks (we are in the capitalism thread afterall). But yeah, old school American football was a lot closer to rugby before the giant helmets.

Football is dumb and dangerous, especially for kids. An analysis of Aaron Hernandez's brain post mortem showed long term signs of concussion. The doctor thought he might've developed abnormally because he started getting concussed as a kid. He went on to do dangerous crazy poo poo, killed a dude or two, then painted his prison cell with his blood and committed suicide. There are enough factors influencing child development as it is, let's stop letting kids rattle their brains around in their skull for fun.

My high school didn't go all in on football (partially because the team sucked, and there was a national champion team 2 miles) but practically bankrupted itself on building a new pool for the water polo and swim teams.

Going by the F-Plus episode on weight lifting obsessed people, it's a very straight dude thing, in that quite a few of them are super duper homophobic and terrified that, oh god, men might find their muscular oily flexing bodies attractive! Gross!!!!! Imagined posted:My high school would've conducted human sacrifices of the entire history and art departments if it somehow helped the football team. Yeah mine found tons of creative ways to basically launder federal, state and charity money for dumb poo poo like music or art into the football team. I knew a bunch of the players and even they thought it was complete bullshit.

EvilJoven posted:Kids gym class should be all cardio and flexibility. The north Americans obsession with sports that are mostly big fat dudes standing around like an rear end in a top hat and occasionally moving a heavy object a little bit (I'm including themselves as a heavy object) or hitting an object with another object is part of why people are so fat. Nobody likes cardio. Everybody likes playing soccer. Gym at school was basically two stages> The boring suffering of jogging around the circuit you had to do to warm up before the teacher would allow you to play, and the good part. It's kinda shocking that people itt don't understand the appeal of team sports of the casual kind.

I've played both ways and tackle with no pads sure seemed to result in less injuries. It sounds crazy, but there's actually a growing section of people who want to remove gloves from boxing. They say the funny poses you see in old timey photos is because nobody wanted to punch heads because you break your hands, so everybody was more interested in body blows. I box, but wasn't sure I believed this until somebody asked me if I'd have any issues with punching a table as hard as I could with gloves on vs gloves off. So yeah, maybe pads just make it easier/less painful to hit someone harder. But I'd say headgear should be kept. The science says that (at least boxing headgear) can decrease the force of a punch up to 50%. Bareknuckle boxing is bloodier, but people get fewer concussions.
