People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Makes me glad I stopped watching football years ago when it became clear that we were systematically destroying our childrens' brains for a chance to destroy their brains further on TV as adults. All in the name of entertainment.

No thanks.

Youth sports are tricky. Girls Soccer has nearly the same amount of concussions. (10.2 vs 8.4 per 1000)

Other sports can be just as dangerous (lacrosse, wrestling, hockey, rugby, etc.)
