TCG games just attract people that are 150 pounds overweight and smell like cat piss.
Um it's a ferret not a cat.
thier own sweat and mildew, cat piss will actually burn your eyes.
So does Rugby
At least the rugby boys play slap-ass in the changeroom showers after the game
Somehow I don't imagine the two sports are comparable.
I'd love to see a crossover event though.
I don't know what direction would be funnier, the friendly local game store tournament field getting thrown onto a rugby pitch, or the All-Blacks throwing down a Blue Eyes White Dragon (don't @ me, this is the extent of my Yu Gi Oh knowledge) during a haka.
Why not both? Before each rugby play, each team has to nominate a player to battle a Yu Gi Oh game. The players that doing the Yu Gi Oh game have to take the field for the rugby play.
Honestly, that makes about as much sense to me as what I think the actual rules of rugby are.
...is that what goes on in the middle of a scrum?
I think the players have a group therapy session?
And them being overweight affects others' enjoyment of the game how exactly? Showering and deodorant are basic courtesy but why exactly is the player's body shape an issue?
Being overweight exacerbates many health issues, so you're more likely and prone to experience things that can lead to bad odors. Sweating being just one of many. You would need to clean more often as a result. It's also harder to clean (more surface area, harder to reach spots). So, indirectly, it matters.
Being overweight itself isn't an issue, but it does tend to cause more sweating.
And there are lots of folds and nooks where the funk can hide.
Ever heard of rag on a stick? Its a meme for a reason
Hey! I use the rag on a stick to clean myself.
