Miscellaneous:

The Viking therapy club: Where men fight their demons - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/viking_club_where_men_fight_their_demons I know a couple of Viking reenactors, and while thoroughly peculiar (see also, they are my friends), they are a good bunch. (I also know English Civil War reenactors - they end up missing teeth)

Rugby league:

Toronto Wolfpack owner Eric Perez plans to launch two more American sides - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/41544831 Article from 2017, and can be put under 'pipe dreams that never happened'. I think that's what annoys me about all the people saying 'everyone was so mean to Toronto'. They couldn't put players out for a full season, and their allegedly loads-a-money chairman couldn't fund the club for 18 months.
