minus-squareowenfromcanada@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up30arrow-down2·1 day agoI had a similar idea for american football. Recruit an offensive line entirely of ex-sumo wrestlers One holds the ball The rest form a protective ring around them They casually walk down the field Anyone who attempts to tackle them is thrown unceremoniously aside like trash Touchdown!
