Anyone have, or know if this kind of data exists? I think it'd be really interesting. All this Draymond stuff has me thinking how often a dirty play actually leads to an injury/somebody having to miss games. Not that we should only measure/punish something by the outcome, but I think we way overblow and overreact to some things that are more provocative, unsportsmanlike, disrespectful than substantially harmful.
Is Dray *that* dirty or does it just stand out so much in this era of the NBA compared to the rough 'n rowdy days gone by?
And what's worse, kicking a dude in the spuds or making a play at one of his knees/ankles? Yes, Dray has both in his locker I know.
I'm a Liverpool fan and had to rationalize all this sort of stuff in the Luis Suarez era. It's wrong and really weird to bite someone during a game, but it's probably better than putting in a nasty tackle that takes their ACL. Of course, it's a false-choice, you don't have to do either. But I think we react more viscerally to the weird/deviant action than the tackle because it's "part of the game". Yet I think we'd all rather take the teeth marks than have a career jeopardized.
Curious on people's thoughts!
If you're wanting to test it as a concept, Everpress might a good option. It has a kickstarter-ish model to it, they only print and fulfill the orders if you hit the minimum sales quantity (I believe it's 10). Very useful for aspiring artists but I think it might also align for you. No website, inventory, or extra work. Just design, share the mockup and product link with your followers and see if anything happens. Hope that helps!
