Social A sport dumber than Powerslap just dropped :

[GearSolidMetal]

I can't help but think this sport will come to an end after somebodies brains get splattered onto the audience. Really strange idea.

I'm sure somebody said the same about MMA back in 1993, but the skull is structurally very difficult to crack and even more difficult to break.

Chances of brain matter splattering onto the audience is none.

Serious injuries including lifetime handicaps and possibly death?

Very probable, practically guaranteed in time.... Especially if this becomes a major promotion with major money behind it for the 'winners.'

It’s a nice comp to powerslap, another contest that’s designed to be consumed in 15 second social media videos, with more movement this time.

Sumo is more entertaining that either and could totally be packaged the same way.

Sumo is such an underrated sport

I love how after we learned about CTE they just invented a bunch of new sports aimed at giving people CTE.

@UberHere calls that job security.

Yeah it’s really easy to watch on YouTube now too, they’ve got it well structured for quick consumption

Actually 'dumber than Powerslap' is debatable. It's basically a miniature version of rugby for former rugby players.
But the injuries are going to be surprising.

Let's not forget Australia was founded to be a prison colony. This "sport" is very appropriate

Competitive CTE.

So it should be popular in Georgia too then. Rednecks gonna redneck

Power Slap is still king of stupid. I'm going to let a dude absolutely tee off on me with no protection or evasion what at all. CTE GODS.

This at least allows you to try to protect yourself and there's some actual technique involved by both sides.

Not much protection on either side, or technique.

I'm guessing the ball's purpose is for the one holding it to get past the other. That's his goal, while the other's goal is to stop him. So Barry Sanders juke&jiving is still a possible tactic but probably not what everyone wants to see.

The majority of the time it'll be a Heavyweight running full speed (20MPH?) slamming into another Heavyweight going the same speed... So potentially a 40MPH collision.

That won't just give CTE, but issues throughout the entire upper body.

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

Exactly what I was looking for.

Kudos Pitgod.

Peter Ustinov said he once had an argument with an Australian that went like this,

Aussie, "You bloody Poms just look down on us because we're descended from the convicts you sent here!"

Ustinov, "Actually, what's rather worse is some of you must be descended from the prison warders..."

You'd think it'd be scored based on yards gained but I looked it up and it's actually judged by who "won" the collision.
