There is a rule in the Navy Seals training called the “40% Rule”, which I discovered and devoted to my life from the age of thirteen.

Now those are reduce to just 85 which is only 10 injury difference (Chadiha). with only 15…

understand your point of view. The shunning and the bullying sounds an awful like what Vivek Ranadive had to endure. ““The referee did not believe in “one, two, three, attitude, hah!” He didn’t think that playing to deny the inbounds pass was basketball. He began calling one foul after another.” Malcolm, pg. 25 To Vivek, despite the fact that they had lost this game, it was still a success to them.

sponsorships of an NCAA basketball tournament dubbed “March Madness,” showing how even the ladder used to cut the net of the basketball goal, a tradition after you win a game, is sponsored.
