My high school math teacher played lineman for the Chicago Bears back in the 1930's, and that guy's mug looked more like a hamburger than a face. I can only assume that he was handsome before! Men's rugby is a sport I think. If women play rugby, it's probably nothing like the way the men do it. People don't get their nose bent halfway around their face or their ear bitten off playing a game. Modern baseball is a game most of the time. Back before batters started wearing arm guards it was more of a sport. When baseball players were angry with each other, they usually met up after the game at some bar to work things out the old fashioned way. When Robin Ventura charged Nolan Ryan, things got a little sporting. Nolan landed a few blows to the face along with about 5 or six to the top of the head. When is the last time somebody actually got hurt in a baseball or football fight? 6ShotsOr5?https://www.blogger.com/profile/01708622798619359182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-10539815499629519552015-08-08T09:38:04.108-05:002015-08-08T09:38:04.108-05:00Hemingway forgot boxing and amateur wrestling as w...Hemingway forgot boxing and amateur wrestling as well as the martial arts.
