    D'Arcy Waldegrave: Combat sports' contributions to the Darwin Awards

    Play Episode Listen Later May 30, 2025 3:18 Transcription Available


    The recent explosion of side-show violence masquerading as sport and the associated media coverage has been quite the eye opener. Basically, it's a Darwin Award trilogy. Combat sports' way of contributing to the awards which recognize individuals who have aided human evolution by removing themselves from the gene pool by dying or becoming sterilized under their own steam. The first of the new look Darwin Award games was the wince inducing Power Slap. The two people slapping each other game has been around for a while now, created by UFC Empresario Dana White. Nothing subtle about this. One contestant stands still whilst the other contestant slaps them in the face with all the power they can muster. They then trade places. Defenceless. Sitting duck stupidity if you will. Part two of the ‘can't look away car crash' triptych was released onto an unsuspecting public in the form of Run It Straight. An Australian game that has chosen to replicate the collisions found in rugby and rugby league. Zero subtleties here, one contestant runs flat out at the other one, holding a ball to give the exchange some tenuous connection to sport. They collide. That's it. That's the game. Dumber than a bag of hammers. The third instalment of the trilogy is the Dan Hooker driven One Minute Scrap. Dan is a UFC fighter who holds a series of one minute stand up punch ups in his back yard. You have one minute to knock the other participant into next week. Agricultural if you will. There are common denominators here: Appeals to the very baseline of the human psyche. Beat someone up. I'm tougher than you, I win. Straight out of the stone-age. The end goal is money. Money. Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, oh. Clickbait. It's all there to hook straight into the veins of the bored social media hordes. Easy to understand, quick, violent. The rules are so incredibly simple, even the most mentally challenged can understand them. Indeed, the contestants appear to be in that same class. All these pastimes (not sport) are a sad but wholly predictable reflection on the current state of humanity. But before we get too judgey on this, let's not forget that in our so-called advanced society, we still resort to war to settle our differences. Physically we've left the cave, but mentally we are still very much there. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    We all know the saying, pressure makes diamonds. It's a wonderful theory, a beautiful axiom that is often delivered as a powerful reinforcement of the ability of athletes who exude titanium-like mental strength. We also know that pressure has the capability to wreak havoc. Pressure in the diving world can lead to nitrogen narcosis, oxygen toxicity and decompression sickness - more commonly and loosely known as the bends. Far from a precious rock. So how will Auckland FC behave under the most intense scrutiny that they have ever been subjected to? Melt under the blowtorch? Catch fire and burn to ashes through the concentrated glare of the A-League magnifying glass? Wilt? It's fair and right to say that the team have an almost irresistible momentum, their season has been one of almost mythical success, a fairytale if you will. Should they scale their Everest, it will become legend, one of the most extraordinary debut seasons in sport. Should they trip on the Hilary step and roll to their demise, the narrative will be one of a great season, but no cherry. There is no way of knowing which path this team will take, even with the influence of the uber successful Dan Hall, the hugely experienced Tommy Smith, the gatekeeper Alex Paulsen and the guiding light of one of the best coaches in the game, Steve Corica. No-one knows. Don't fear the unknown, that's where the magic is. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Can the fairy tale continue? The page turning epic that has become Auckland FC's debut season is closing in on the final chapter. What started out as a wonderful picture-book story of a plucky youngster, the second born of two Kiwi teams in the A-League, striving to do their best as the new kid on the block, has developed into a Roy of the Rovers style graphic novel. Heroes have been made, stands have been full, chants have evolved, the media has added extra carriages to the band wagon, the Port supporters' mob have become the envy of other sporting teams. The black and blue jerseys have taken centre stage as a symbol of Auckland footballing pride in a city that has regularly chewed through and spat out any thought of a footballing foothold. What started as a pipe dream has materialised. They have a fanbase. They have results. They have silverware. It looks like they'll have their very own shiny new stadium soon too. They should have a women's team – the sooner the better. They play a brand of football that beckons eyes to the game. They are the poster child of the league. Auckland FC are tantalisingly close to closing their book as the sporting story of New Zealand and some say regardless of the semifinal and or final results, they have done enough to call their first foray into the world of pro football a success. But y'know, they haven't. What the team has achieved will all fade into fogged oblivion if they can't bring it home. Tough call? Hell no. They'll be thinking exactly the same thing, if they aren't they can't call themselves true professionals. This fairy tale shouldn't be a Grimm Brothers reminder of the frailty of a championship run.

    NZR generated 285 million bucks last year. Sweet. They also manged to flush $305 million. Oops. A quick flick of the abacus tells us that $20 million slid down the back of the couch. Somewhere along the way, something has gone horribly wrong. I'm sure the bean counters are working their way through the figures, looking at the expenditure, trying to shave a bit here and a bit there, but shaving won't achieve a thing, they need an axe, not a Gilette. Gregor Paul from the NZ Herald continues to write revealing pieces on the issue, and he's far from complimentary around NZR's ham-fisted money management. His dive into these matters is far deeper than mine and revels some fairly alarming numbers associated with NZR's expenditure. His Silver Lake work points to what numerous folk were concerned about when NZR sold their pound of flesh to the American fund manager. To put it simply, Silver Lake care about profit, they couldn't care less about NZ rugby. They just saw some straw-chewing, dungaree-wearing farmers, spun them some grandiose yarns and walked off with a slice of their operation. Boom. Silver Lake will Shylock NZR, and Shakespeare will shake his head. Part of NZR and SLs brave new world involves the media platform NZR+. It's costing a bucket load as it gingerly steps its way into the vicious world of streaming. A world that NZR has no experience in and no right or point to be directly engaged with. I'm sure in time it will be revealed that the inner workings of NZR+ are, well, not working. Courier companies have one job. Prisons have one job. Focus on that task and I'd say job done. Granted, some courier companies lose packages and some prisoners escape, which beggars belief, maybe pure focus on one exercise would help them out. NZR have one job. Look after rugby from the grassroots to the superstar ABs. Stick to your knitting guys, leave broadcasting platforms to broadcasters, and maybe buy yourselves an abacus or two instead of more first-class flights and 5 star hotels for your ruling class.

    Basketball New Zealand has punched itself in the face. Broke its own nose, and is trying to tell us it walked into a door. The barely believable antics of not only the week just gone, but the entire season, and if players I've spoken to are to be believed, the pre-season, leads me to think that they are the architects of their own humiliation. The Indian Panthers were suspended this week after a series of stumbles which eventually lead to them falling over their own feet, leaving themselves prone on the court floor. Yes, the Panthers has been a problem child, yes, they've failed to deliver on court, yes, they've treated their staff both on court and off with disdain bordering on exploitation, yes they've dragged a wonderful competition into the swamp with them, but no, the blame should not lie solely at their Air Jordaned feet. Claims from the commission chair Tracey Garland that “careful due diligence” was applied before their inclusion in the league are difficult to swallow. I did some retrospective diligence. A quick skim of the internet around the history of the parties involved with the Panthers (yeah, I'm like an antivaxxer – I did my own research) points to clumsy management and financial chaos. More red flags than a wealthy, good looking hit on Tinder. Sal's NBL, NZ Basketball, whoever holds ultimate responsibility for this circus needs to stand up and tell us who opened the door and let these 20 clowns jammed into a tiny car in. They can finger point and obfuscate all they want. The Indian Panthers management are a fast talking, blame laying excuse factory, but if they weren't in the league, this wouldn't have happened.
