  • I agree that it took so long to make it seem « not bad ». I wonder how it was perceived by societies where they write from the right to the left like Hebrew or Arabic. This would be crazy, but I even wonder if right handed people could have been the ones that were attacked by the religion or it was only a catholic phenomenon.



  • Before the 60s, in most Catholic societies, writing with your left hand was seen as a sign of the devil and unchristian. It was thus punished very often. I heard stories in Québec (Canada) where people would be beaten their left hand until there was blood with a wooden ruler. It’s frankly horrible and someone I know did show her scars from being beaten so often.












  • It’s totally a business deal to have a sponsor just like the iPads for the reviews by teams. But it’s still pretty cool and could have some use cases. A little vibration to know it’s back to even strength isn’t much, but could help the ref continue to look at the play and not have to check that little thing. Can’t be too hopeful, but maybe some automation could help better officiating.
