We have a far better system today, where athletes sacrifice their childhood and existence as well-rounded beings to chase ever-smaller gains in perfection that are invisible to all but a handful of other people

Are there any top-tier athletic disciplines that still have their fair share of partiers?

I think most pro athletes get completely hosed up on the regular, it's just they time it so they don't do it right before they have to compete.

AFL players especially, they're too goddamned stupid to time it properly. It recently came to light that the clubs had been systematically testing the players off the books and anyone who didn't pass was simply pulled from the roster and given a sick day to avoid the official tests. The players get to party, the league gets to claim their players are all drug free, everyone gets what they want! https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/mar/27/revelations-of-secret-afl-drug-testing-leave-many-unanswered-questions It must have been one of the worst kept secrets of all time, lol. Everyone's probably real mad at whoever made a fuss about it.

It's a reference to Greek mythology from back when I was in college and was figuring out that I liked girls. A more proper spelling would be Kythereal, and 'cytherean' or 'cythereal' are obscure terms sometimes used in astronomy paying homage to the same myth. Presumably the same myth that the adult film star in question was also paying a nod to.

I worked in an major sports apparel manufacturing company's design department when they were doing the initial branding and design work for Tiger Woods product launch. Old Tiger knew he was in the strip club capital of the US, and would party his face off every time he visited to do design reviews. When the news about the affairs came out, everyone on campus (who didn't work in that category) just chuckled.

This reminds me of an article yesterday. The Belgian federation for pétanque will ban alcohol at competitions. I mean, I thought that was the point of the whole game? Stand around in the sun and drink something with friends. The whole ball throwing thing seems secondary.
