This brings us to what Francis Fukuyama was talking about when he said "the end of football history": the 1994 Grey Cup. That's it! There's simply no more football to discuss after that.
After the Las Vegas Posse, we ask: "Okay but what if you made it really humid, too? What if you added circus animals? What if the field tried to kill you?" And so, so many other questions. We don't get a lot of good answers, but there are definitely a ton of questions.

In this one: you'll learn how close we got to getting any more Rough( )riders, the CFL learns the hard way why Americans don't play football in late June, and one obscure anthem singer learns how butchering "O Canada" can make you the most recognizable Yank in Shanghai.
After a brief rundown of the Canadian game's early evolution, we skip to the time the CFL—on the brink of financial ruin—threw a Hail Mary by trying to expand into a market that was surely ripe to accept Canadian football: the United States of America.

In Part 7, you'll learn: the physiognomic differences between Irish and English legs, the proper sporting way to go about fighting a spectator, and which of Napoleon's marshals would've made the best offensive coordinator for American football.
We begin with a look at the very deliberate creation of modern Gaelic football...then we move on to an era of American football so violent that the President gets involved. No, WAY more violent than you're thinking. And way more fatal.

You'll learn how Americans were the only people wonderful and special enough to innovate new rugby-football rules, and then how people in northern England subsequently innovated new rugby-football rules. You'll also learn which racial group the sporting elites liked to compare the working class to 🙂
We shot our wad early with all the jokes about balls and busting; now we have to catch up on history. The 1870s – 1890s brought an eruption of rule changes that moved the Rugby game away from the Association game, and shaped the other five codes we have today.

Part 5 is also a great place to learn about "emotional support slurs," exactly how transmissible Scottishness is, and exactly which of our many trophies' namesakes were intimately involved in Rhodesia.
The progression from the heady college days of Canadian/American football, to the groups that would go on to form the #CFL. Come find out, from among many schools/clubs: which team names were the exact same, which were the dumbest, and which were the most racist

The continued evolution of ball games in the places that the English were creatively calling "New England," where the settlers marvel at the suspicious happiness of the "uncivilized" people of these new lands, who engage in such incomprehensible behaviour as "sharing resources" and "drinking water."
This is an episode all about institutionalized bullying: from the halls of Eton and Rugby, as fictionalized in a transatlantic hit of a novel; to the fields of Harvard and Dartmouth, as materialized in the genocide of innumerable people and cultures.

Now that we've finally finished with the ball jokes (mostly), we can set aside our three horrid little fancy-boy schools and get on to the important business of talking about...well, another fancy-boy school that the first three turn their noses up at: Rugby.

In the pursuit of covering the history of Canadian football, we've accidentally found ourselves covering the history of all football. Now that we've finally gotten out of our "ball-play" jokes out of the way, there shouldn't be any double entendres going forward. Right?
@hivefleethodag.bsky.social is back, for the proto-football games of English fancy-boy schools: one renowned for how badly the ball sucks, one whose name ("Winkies") is the most normal part of its terminology, and one whose headmaster had to excise "a bizarre sexual ritual."

In Part 1: Can you be killed by a tennis ball? Do knives or "murther" have a place in sports? Is it possible to be pranked so hard by "wags" that you have to leave town forever? Heads up: it contains "develishe pastimes" full of "rancour and malice" and alas, it "all ends with the ape on horseback."
@hivefleethodag.bsky.social from @beyondthebreakers.bsky.social is here to cover one of the absolute cornerstones of "Canadian sports," and for that, we have to begin with the logical starting point: England in the 14th century! It's going to be a long series.
