They did that thing where the cover for a piece of media is designed to be 200% edgier for the american men who are deeply paranoid of people questioning their maturity.

No, I see no reason to show tactfulness to a guy who willing chose to gently caress his body up for millions of dollars.

Sometimes I wonder if you’re just a rogue AI experiment who was designed to study Dunning-Kruger and broke out into the internet at large, programmed to post but only knowing how to either be background noise or to vehemently give the least-educated takes.

The NFL has actively hidden the data on CTE and long-term injury for decades. They also (until 2021) fudged the numbers on concussions and TBI by using a testing metric that assumed Black players started with lower cognitive functioning, thus hiding a lot of damage done in a sport where 70% of the people taking damage are Black.

It’s not like the league has been straightforward with all the risks and players turn down all the other opportunities they have in favor of their own physical and mental destruction.

The US versions shared covers with the UK ones for the first 10 years or so. Then they became really bland. Then really stupid.

WTF that Tua tackle wasn't even a bad one. I had to watch it a few times to figure out if I was missing something.

Although I come from the land of NRL where blokes get tackled that hard or harder on the daily, mostly without any padding or protection.

Just some regular season tackles

This is State of Origin which is a set of exhibition games that have no standings in the regular season. Players are regularly matched up against regular season team mates and they DO NOT gently caress AROUND when it comes to tackling.

The cursed bit is he has some serious brain damage and dementia from his days playing. Him not remembering his sons wedding the day before and repeating the same story about how many times he broke his nose in pretty much every interview. His wife opened up in an interview last week (which I can't find right now) and it was heartbreaking.

You are only burned out and tired because you have enough free time to be so. If you get another job, then you will be forced to be up and enthused and focused because you wont have any time to be any other way.

This is a good thing.

Another benefit is that if you are working 2 jobs, then that is 1 less job an immigrant can steal.

This just made me think of the Culture series and how the first couple books had very pulpy (sci-fi! laser guns!) covers. But the current run toned it down; more solemn. Godamn it sucks that Banks died.
