DEEP STATE PLOT posted:i am trying to picture how one could break their arm rowing and can't. like i'd love to hear the sequence of events that could lead to one doing this in either a sweeper or a sculling boat because it must have been an impressive series of failures. I'd guess collision or a rogue oar. A unexpectedly dragging oar can hit with a lot of force if you're cruising.

If there is anything that we've learned from sports is that constant bashing of the head and spine leads to fantastic physical and mental health.

Abolish schooling but continue to force children to go to the buildings, post guards around the perimeters and allow the creme children to rise to the top in a centrifuge of chaos that they build for themselves. If they can organize competitive sports under these conditions, I say God Bless Them.

A unexpectedly dragging oar can hit with a lot of force if you're cruising. i've lost my oar in practice a few times during really intense mock-race sessions at like 36 strokes per minute and still can't see how it could break your arm. maybe dislocate a shoulder, but really the most likely injury to happen when you lose control of your oar is not ducking in time and taking an oar handle to the face. even then only one person on the team had this happen and he just had a sore jaw for a few days. i could see it resulting from a collision though. if that was the case i hope the coxswain responsible for the collision was relieved of their duty for a good long while lol.

high school sports are largely feeders into the NCAA, a brutally exploitative cruelty that pays coaches millions while paying players nothing in exchange for fake college classes, and should absolutely be abolished. sports are for fun. I support that. but the hyper competition of “going pro” has done far more damage than people care to admit.

It sounds like your beef is with college sports, which a tiny fraction of a percent of high school athletes will ever even sniff

"school sports" includes millions upon millions of people, 99.99%+ of which have no intention of ever "going pro" even the vast majority of NCAA students have absolutely not intention of "going pro" i agree that there is exploitation in the NCAA, but i would argue that for 99% of NCAA athletes "going pro" is not their intention. in addition, sports scholarships are a really good thing because it allows people to go to college debt free. like, for all the D1 feeder schools, there are many, many more D1, D2, and D3 schools, or even schools with just club teams, that are absolutely not pro-prep feeder schools.
