They are referencing calcio storico, which is a renaissance era sport revived in the 1930s in Italy, and is still played in Florence.
*also prolly causes more brain damage than modern NFL, for less money.

I’ve got a buddy who is from Leicester so I started cheering for them. Then they won the league and things were great. Now we are in a relegation fight and I get to experience a different emotion. But Tete looks great!

This is like the most Reddit reply I’ve seen all day. Congrats

Same bro. All the injuries make it tough to watch. What team do you support?

This tracks. My sister worked there in the mid-2010's and when I'd go to the studio you wouldn't know it was the NFL by the size of the place as it wasn't very large. I'd assume a lot of their employees that do the gameday stuff at stadiums (photographers and such) are independent contractors.

What's the point of even playing the league games then?

I think if a disabled person was able to make the team then they deserve to be paid!

I’m with ya 100% - in the last year and a half I’ve completely changed my sports viewing interests. After 20+ years of intensely following the NFL as an adult, I didn’t even watch every game my team played this year and hardly watched any games involving other teams.

Whoa seriously?

This is why I stopped supporting a team and watching games. When junior seau took his own life that was it for me. The NFL truly is a blood sport.

I don’t know of a single industry that could give their employees a chronic disorder at over a 90% rate and not be bankrupt from class action lawsuits.

Based on the current data it seems like every player is leaving the game with some form of CTE. It’s to the point that I have become a fan of the real football(played with feet) and really disconnected from the NFL. The commercials dragging the games out for 4 hours made it easier as well. Watching a EPL match where they play through the whole half and breaks only happen when they leave the field makes for a great viewing experience.

I don't actually hate the Egypt/Saudi/Greece bid. That said, I like the South American bid MUCH better, and especially for 2030. I would also argue that if they want another "arabic" Cup appearance, Spain and Portugal pairing with Morocco would be really good too.

Alright champ, riddle me this. What did he die of?
(Hint: Cardiac Arrest)

Tbh no because nobody is going to interpret it as “well medically technically he died”, but rather “he died on that field and he’s now being possessed by a COVID body double”
