Murderball is the toughest sport you’ve never heard of

Curiosity:

When you think about Paralympic sports, you probably imagine events identical to the Olympics but altered, maybe even made easier, to ensure people with disabilities can compete. That’s a common misconception—many disabled athletes compete in both the Olympics and Paralympics and outperform their able-bodied peers, no special accommodations required—and its absurdity is perhaps best symbolized by a single brutal sport: wheelchair rugby, which also goes by its original name of murderball.

You probably know it as “wheelchair rugby” but that name doesn’t do it justice. It really can be awfully, wonderfully brutal.
