Today @AlfonzCavalier writes on the relationship Afrikaners have with rugby and the current state of their celebrated team, “Springboks: Last Flight Of The Afrikaner” theamericansun.com/2020/02/12/spr…
Mock sportsball all you want but at the local level it is an expression of a community. It is also entertainment. It is too rich a propaganda platform for our rulers to pass up, but play & ability win out no matter the narrative.
This account respects rugby. It is the tougher, more brutal parent of American football, which has become ao specialized. Equipment also protects players to the point where their injuries are random joint accidents or too much roided muscle for their tendons & bones to handle
Rugby is a bit more pure. Look at these two men. There will be contact, no protection. They can’t let shoulder pads or a helmet do the work.
