Masters fatties, cycling vs. football

Looks like the football ones are tougher:

In this game between amateur teams, a player was sanctioned by the
referee, went to get his friends, and a fight with knives and guns
ensued. Two players and a coach were injured with bullet wounds in the
legs, but none seriously.

LOS ANGELES -- Former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips, who was wanted
by police for domestic violence, was arrested Sunday after allegedly
running the car he was driving into three teenagers who argued with him
during a pickup football game, police said.

Showing the relativity of injuries, based on proximity. I consider any
bullet wounds to my legs to be serious, objectivity be damned.

Makes OJ look good. Thurlow Rogers would be advised to be careful if
running into him.
