Lightning kills about 20 people each year in the United States
The common belief that golfers are responsible for the greatest number of lightning deaths was shown to be a
myth. During this 14-year period fishermen accounted for four times as many fatalities as golfers, while
beach activities and camping each accounted for about twice as many deaths as golf. From 2006 to 2019,
there were 40 fishing deaths, 25 beach deaths, 20 camping deaths, and 18 boating deaths. Of the sports
activities, soccer saw the greatest number of deaths with 12, as compared to golf with 10. Around the
home, yard work (including mowing the lawn) accounted for 18 fatalities. For work-related activities,
ranching/farming topped the list with 19 deaths.

@Dragoon I've been on a sail boat on the ocean during a thunder storm. That's quite the experience for all the senses.

That’s like garden variety infield fly rule. What difference, at that point, would it make if the runner on 2nd had gone Incredible Hulk on the shortstop?
The ump that called that needs to not work any playoff games for at least 5 years.

@boomzilla White Sox. If it was the Red Sox, you could at least invoke GWKB's Law. Chicago/Baltimore don't have that excuse. (Really, it's true for both of them, too, but it's not a Universal Law.)

You should've told them the sign embarrasses football, not geometry. Nobody cares about education but make a video go viral of tourists laughing at the English for not knowing what a football even looks like and you'll have even the old signs ripped out by next Tuesday.

I'm not sure ESPN understands how many players are on the field at one time for soccer.
-
@izzion Don't they switch players in and out during the game?

Max 2 per side. Tournaments like the World Cup also require a fixed roster of 24 players forcing coaches to choose weeks before the start

@Luhmann That explains why they often move at a glacial pace that's at most a power walk.
