Yeahhh the propaganda programming has only become more and more effective at convincing people to vote against their own interests. Been a problem for a long time, but these algorithms work on all of us, even when we are aware of their effect, it still affects us subconsciously.

Those who think they are impervious are generally the most pliable.

That was just one example of Nadal's sheer dominance on clay.

His overall record is 464-43. He won 13 consecutive clay court titles in the early 2000's and played in 18 back-to-back clay court finals. He reached the final at the French Open without dropping a single set 6 separate times.

He went 6-0 against Federer at the French Open and 14-2 on clay surface overall. Against Djokovic he's 8-2 at the French Open and 20-8 overall on clay.

Nadal isn't called the "King of Clay" for no reason!

Played a few years of youth hockey waaaay back in the day in an East coast small town.

So small, had to travel to other towns to play opponents. Road games were truly road games.

Anyway,

Blocker was an accepted tactical advantage to access the throat under the protection of mask when goalies fought anybody.

Ummm, retrospectively, was that a dysfunctional environment?
