More Parable

Quote from http://www.rugby-school.co.uk/ru.htm
"Whether in legend or in fact, rugby is said to have originated in 1823
at the Rugby School in England. To this day, a stone marker at the gates
of the school commemorates the event when "William Webb Ellis ... with
fine disregard for the rules of football (soccer) as played in his time,
first took the ball in his arms and ran with it." Ellis and the rest of
the world never looked back."
HORSE summed up the moral of this story in his 17th October post:-
>If Rugby is "dismissed as delinquent soccer playing by much
>of our intended audience" then our intended audience can collectively
screw
>itself.
