Season’s greetings everyone!
If you’re like us, you’re aware that the Ivy League has something called “crew,” and that it has something to do with muscled anorexics sitting in a boat, rowing in unison when a smaller anorexic with a funny name tells them to. So this video from Sunday’s Princeton Chase event pretty much encapsulates our view of the sport: It’s long, it’s confusing, and people we don’t really know or see are passionate about it. You can find out what actually happened to Columbia’s heavyweight “A” squad here, or you can just watch in simple, happy ignorance.
