@ 2023-09-03: A GENTLEMAN'S GAME

"Cricket is a gentlemen’s game played by gentlemen,

Football [soccer] is a gentlemen’s game played by thugs,

Rugby Union is a thug’s game played by gentlemen,

And Rugby League is a thug’s game played by thugs."

-------------------------------------------------------------

"[Soccer] is a gentleman's game played by hooligans, and rugby is a hooligans' game played by gentlemen."

Winston Churchill (apocryphal)
