The Kenyon Thrill 
Too bad rugby is a pussy club sport
Says the dude too scared to use his real name
Oh for god’s sake, we’re all anonymous on here. It’s not a reason to bitch hypocritically at each other
I think it’s a joke moniker… I may be mistaken but “Lax Bro #69” sounds a bit too obviously ridiculous to be serious.
Truth is that rugby is one if the most rugged and physically punishing sports allowed by law. I had hoped that my comment would be taken sarcastically, clearly I was mistaken. However, I do appreciate that the one who called me out for being scared preferred to stay “Anonymous.” Good old fashioned Kenyon hypocrisy.
*Internet hypocrisy, I think.
