Damn - that's one I honestly can't answer with any certainty, because, again, fiction is different. My take would be to make one up, and include it, up front with the acknowledgements, etc; if your agent/editor decides it doesn't need to be there, they can always take it out, yes?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Glad you enjoyed it, Cindy!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That's fabulous Allyson! I hope you slept the sleep of the well-accomplished.
