Please note that there is a version of this episode with slides, if you prefer. You can watch the video on YouTube here.It's time we covered one of the absolute cornerstones of "Canadian sports," and for that, we have to begin with the logical starting point: England in the 14th century! It's going to be a long series.In Part 1, we investigate: whether you can be killed by a tennis ball, whether knives or "murther" have any place in sports, and if it's possible to be pranked so hard by "wags" that you have to leave town forever. A heads-up that this episode contains "develishe pastimes" full of "rancour and malice," and unfortunately, it "all ends with the ape on horseback."Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/CanuckIsASlurJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/RCACQQue28Follow our various socials: https://linktr.ee/CanuckIsASlurCheck out Beyond the Breakers: https://www.instagram.com/beyondthebreakerspodcast/Follow Tanner on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hive.fleet.hodag/Intro: "The Log Driver's Waltz" by Wade Hemsworth (performed by Kate & Anna McGarrigle)Outro: "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Techo" by BKS (featuring Don Cherry)Major sources: "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England" by Joseph Strutt (1801)
