The ultimate insult for rugby players: "Take up Ballet" Options

For the record, Patrick, I hadn’t realized you had used the phrase ‘consider the source.’ I was referring to the gist of sejacko’s post, not the literal wording. So your post was neither taken out of context nor misattributed by me. (IMG:http://ballettalk.invisionzone.com/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Mashinka, your friend's comment reminded me of this. (IMG:http://ballettalk.invisionzone.com/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Okay, sorry. Also, for the record, I don't find the rugby players all that 'uber-manly', if you must know. Sweaty, yes, but anybody can do that. I just meant that either uber-manly (anyone's choice, maybe some think Lord Byron) nor uber-womanly (maybe Garbo or Fonteyn) would neither one be terrible, because somebody's got to do it--that's where stars go. I don't think it necessarily means gentlemanly or ladylike either (although these could be), but I definitely don't think some crude professional sports macho jocks would qualify. And although I clearly may not take what they say as seriously as some, because I don't think they are very bright, I certainly don't find them paradigms of maleness--at least not these, God knows.
