Le sport d'équipe le plus vieux du monde reste de nos jours encore un jeu peu connu du grand public, associé trop souvent à une image élitiste et surannée. Déjà pratiqué dans les steppes de l'Asie centrale à l'époque d'Alexandre le Grand, le polo associe désormais cheval et cavalier dans une formidable symbiose, sur tous les continents. Il était nécessaire de lever le rideau sur toute cette discipline, injustement cataloguée, en rapprochant les curieux des joueurs et en dévoilant ce qui constitue l'originalité et la richesse de ce sport en plein développement. En 160 pages, ce guide ludique évoque d'une manière claire tous les aspects du polo. Ce livre répond aux questions des non-initiés et des débutants en leur montrant combien le polo reste un sport de plus en plus accessible. Quant aux joueurs confirmés, ils seront satisfaits de trouver, dans cet ouvrage, de nombreux conseils ainsi que le cadeau idéal à offrir tant aux spectateurs qu'aux supporters qui les admirent sur le terrain.

One of my best friends started watching sports. She watched the euro cup and then the Olympics because she started weight lifting and she just texted me about Sprint on Netflix and I'm slowly pushing her towards F1 I think we can get her into it

Hey I just want to know something: am I the stupidest person on the planet or the f1 fandom is built differently?

Everytime I go on a social media to look up f1 content I see cute/horny (let's be honest) edits and everybody calling the drivers pookie or making memes. And that's alright, I guess.

I most definitely know that a bunch of (mostly white) men in a very competitive male-dominated sport rooted more than many others in capitalism are probably going to have scandals around them. I am not that dumb. I also know that because probably none of them is scandal-free and people who get crushes/hyperfixation on them just learn to live with them, but I didn't think they just...ignored them? Swept them under the rug? Let me explain.

When I so much as stumble on a TikTok with a song by The 1975 or McCafferty- or hell even Lovejoy recently- I see comments flooding with "bUt DoN't YoU kNoW tHeY'rE pRoBlEmAtIC?". Same happened with content about cinema or books. And on Tumblr happens less but still happens. As soon as you mention something that has ties with sexism, racism, homophobia, etc. people will soon point it out to you. Maybe because they're some of those people with the obsession of only consuming "morally pure" content, maybe they genuinely want to inform you, maybe they fucking hate that song/book/movie and want to give YOU a reason to dislike it.

But can someone tell me if I'm fucking dumb and I managed to stumble in the wrong part of instagram/tumblr/TikTok or NOBODY fucking talks about the shit some drivers have done? Because I am stumbling on a LOT of shit done by drivers I really liked lately even though I have been interested in F1 for a while now. Not too long, but enough that I think I would have heard some stuff.

Like, if I spent like 6 months on the hashtag of Guy Who Drives, why am I now finding out that they said something really discriminatory? I am just confused, I simply thought it would have popped out sooner, but apparently it was buried under 500+ posts about their abs? Like what?

I get that anyway it's not like you can cancel a driver, no matter what shit they say they'll probably still going to be racing the next weekend, but why people don't talk about it? Was my socials' fault for showing me horny posts everytime I simply looked up the name of a guy or do people don't talk about this stuff in the f1 community because "what are you gonna do anyway"?

I am leaning towards the second option because there are a few things that happened while I was already watching f1 (not in order: Lando's comments about, Trump, Hornergate, most drivers saying Hornergate was just noise) and at first people were talking about it but then they just...stopped? Like, I don't know, personally the words of disenterest many drivers expressed about Hornergate made me change my opinion about them at least a little and people seemed so outraged at first but now...it's like it never happened. Everybody back thirsting on main for Ricciardo, Norris, etc.

Genuine question, is the general response of the f1 community to these behaviours "forgive and forget in time of the next gp"? Am I missing something? I don't think they should be crucified but why I have not seen more people talking about this stuff? The "serious sport bunch" seems to be uninterested in "gossip" or whatever happens outsid the tracks, the good old fashioned fandom is writing fanfiction/making edits/funny posts, who keeps tracks of this stuff?

I have never been interested in a sport before. In the artistic world (cinema, literature, etc.) some scandals can get you out of a job and a long lasting hatred from the community. In motorsports, because the success of a driver does not depend from his fans' engagement but can be "objectively proved" by results and victories, do people just...make peace with the fact that some athletes are pieces of shit?

I want to specify it one more time, I am NOT saying LET'S CANCEL ALL THE DRIVERS AND BOO THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE SOMETHING QRONG AT SOME POINT, I am asking:

how do you deal when an athlete you cheer for does something really fucked up, and you know other athletes in the same field are no saints?

Same Anon as Yesterday (Food pun anon) and I just wanna say something I personally think is missing from Rio’s arc, that I think is important.

So largely, I’m speaking from my own experience as a twin, where me and the twin were really codependent and I was definitely the more docile of the twins. What really helped me with my own personal inferiority complex was making the choice to step out of her shadow. Even though I wasn’t born talented at the things I chose to focus on, the fact that I had chosen to set out and do it on my own left me feeling proud and fulfilled.

To me, Rio makes this choice by becoming Julio, only to step back into her shadow (aka his comfort zone) after his redemption. His friends are her friends, his hobby is her hobby. In a way it’s like, regression rather than development.

I think Rio really should have found something that he’s passionate about that Ciel isn’t, and made some friends that care about that same passion. I don’t think he needs to stop being passionate about baking, but I think he should’ve tried to find something that makes him feel unique. He needs friends that care for him not because he’s Ciels twin, but because he’s Rio.

I’ve came up with various headcanons over the years to deal with this, from giving him a set of new friends, to him becoming more of a business kinda guy when they grow up. Like Ciel is the creative one who literally doesn’t understand the first thing about running a business and Rio is the manager who makes sure the patisserie they run doesn’t spontaneously explode or smth. If I recall, WV Rio likes sports as a hobby (might’ve hallucinated that, it’s been a minute) and I really wish canon had expanded on that, or his other talents. Because I think that would’ve been a much more satisfying way to end his arc.

food anon you're so right. my hottest take of all is that at the end of the series rio still isn't in a healthy mindset because he's put right back into the same situation that caused him to spiral in the first place except ciel compliments him sometimes and i don't think that's a great ending. when writing waffleverse i always ask myself "who is (pov character)?" and once i moved out of rio's julio era and his corporated mandated post-redemption angst i realized i had no fucking idea because postcoma rio just. Exists. he's ciel's brother and he's kinda grumpy and he feels bad about what he did as julio and that's about all you can say about him. he is unfortunately the hardest character for me to write because of that

Anyone know if there’s a way to watch the discovery+ streams without a subscription?

I was disappointed with Last One Standing’s rule that they can’t share tools but then when it was explained that they can steal each other’s tools and someone IMMEDIATELY stole Jeff’s rope……Yeah I’m here for that actually

[chamomileteainabuttercup]

in terms of developing shared interests I think a surprisingly easy one for Steve and Eddie would be the WWF, as it was in the '80s before cutting a deal with the panda fanciers; Steve appreciates pro wrestling from a more jockish perspective (he will argue any time that it is a real sport) while Eddie comes to it from his weird drama kid angle (he adores the larger-than-life personas of the wrestlers and always cheers for heels).

they are adamant that getting pizza and watching WrestleMania counts as a really good date night

Translation: Now that we might actually lose Captain Marvel, the very same trolls (See competitors like Warner Bros Discovery, Sony Pictures and Paramount) are now whining about its demise and attempting to shame Marvel over it. I guess now that it seems the coup against the Disney board and Bob Iger is failing, these assholes are now realizing the money they could count on, for the actors they handle are drying up... because of them. Nice to finally admit that no, there was never anything wrong with the character and especially the first movie. It wasn't 'woke' as they kept screaming. It's perfectly fine to express frustration in how you're treated by the opposite sex. How many fucking Whine fests do we put up with about men who hate their mothers? About every other Ari Aster film, that's how much.

The other tell that this is coming from asshole competitors is the *YAWN!* obsession in pushing Wanda Maximoff. Better make that BRITISH ASSHOLE COMPETITORS.

Jack Baer at Yahoo! Sports:

The world of sports media is about to get a massive new player. Disney, Fox Corp. and Warner Bros. Discovery are planning to a launch a new streaming joint venture that will make all of their sports programming �� including ESPN, Fox Sports and TNT — available under a single service, they announced Tuesday. The streaming service will launch in the fall and will be equally co-owned by each of the three companies. Subscribers will be offered a list of networks, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ABC, Fox, FS1, FS2, BTN, TNT, TBS, truTV and ESPN+. The service, not unlike a sports-only cable subscription, will also include hundreds of hours of NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and college sports content. The price of the mega-service remains to be announced. It will also be available to ESPN+, Hulu and Max subscribers as part of a bundle.

ESPN-Fox-TNT sports streaming service could turn cable television upside down

The ramifications of this initiative in both the sports and television world are enormous. Much of the modern cable television industry owes its existence to the allure of live sports, with those networks able to demand massive carriage fees in return. This new service will give the cable subscribers who pay only for sports a chance to cut the cord and lose very little, though we'll see how much this whole thing ends up costing. Between Disney, Fox and Warner Bros., the companies own at least some of the national media rights for all of the major sports leagues. MLB is mostly tied to Fox and ESPN. NBA games are nationally broadcasted on TNT and ABC/ESPN. The NHL has the same combination. Fox has a share of Big Ten football games. ESPN has the SEC. Fox and ESPN both have a share of the NFL.

CBS, which has NFL Sunday afternoon games and March Madness, and NBC, which has the NFL's "Sunday Night Football" and the Olympics, are the major networks left out here, but cable cutters could still access their biggest games through over-the-air antennas.

Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery team up to launch a new DTC sports streaming service this fall. This package will have truckloads of college and pro sports content.

Come Iniziare la Pole Dance e Continuare Senza Farsi Abbattere dalle Parole Limitanti

Il Mio Difficile Inizio Nella Pratica della Pole Dance Come è cominciato tutto? Beh, stavo facendo un viaggio a ritroso nei meandri del mio passato pole-dancer, ma ahimè, le mie investigazioni mi hanno portato a scoprire che il mio debutto nel mondo della pole dance è avvenuto prima che le storie di Facebook diventassero una cosa! Eppure riesco a ricordare l’ansia che ho provato il mio primo…

I DON'T ship Sportacus and Stephanie because he is an adult and she is underage, but if he had the same age as Steph, I think they would be really cute together!
