Quote from Herrald:
This guy clearly never saw the grad school intramural leagues. I sustained a wrist injury in flag football that took almost a year to heal and my buddy shredded his ACL in basketball. You put a bunch of out of shape competitive nerds into an athletic competition and it devolves into a slap fight really quickly.

Amen to that. I've seen some gnarly injuries at the gym with old washed up used to be ballers playing pickup games. I used to have a lot of fun doing that till I messed up my ankle coming down on a guys foot and decided I was too old to be doing that anymore. I saw lots of guys competitve juices get going and fights break out. Pretty damn stupid I just walked away once I saw it starting to boil over.

We rolled out for the first game and tailgated right before the game with some Leinenkugel's (back before they changed the formula and made it awful so they could ship it beyond Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois). These guys had plays and shit and there was some guy who played linebacker at some d-3 school and this guy was playing like he was in the god damned Super Bowl. I finished the season because we didn't have enough guys on the team for me to quit, but my god, what a fucking shit show that was. I never signed up for anything again and after my buddy destroyed his ACL, my group of hombres pretty much all quit that shit.
Oh shit. Yeah I never joined anything even semi organized like that. I'm sure that's what you'd run into a lot of that sort of thing. All it takes is 1 or 2 dudes to just be ridiculously over the top and it's no fun for everyone else... Which is why I always played. I mean sure I played hard and wanted to win but I was self aware enough to know I wasn't going to remember or care anything about the outcome of the game by the time I got home after it...
