Airport annoyances

I’ve paid $50K in ‘boob tax’ to travel — my size R chest makes flying economy impossible

She’s booby-trapped in high-cost traveling.

Paying an arm and a leg for flights can be a major pain. But for Summer Robert, a frequent flyer with 55-pound, size R breasts, paying through the nose just to fit comfortably in an airplane seat is a budget-busting injustice, says the siren, who’s spent over $50,000 upgrading from economy to business class accommodations for extra space.

“There is a real physical and financial toll of navigating a world that feels increasingly designed for a one-size-fits-all standard,” Robert, 28, said in a statement, chiding the airline industry for imposing a “boob tax” on her full-figured physique.

Summer Robert says her size R breasts make flying economy uncomfortable, forcing her to pay thousands for roomier airplane seating.

“The biggest struggle is comfort, especially on a long-haul flight,” continued the buxom bombshell, an OnlyFans model from Scotland. “I always end up with the person next to me touching my boobs, and it makes both of us uncomfortable.”

She recently shelled out a whopping $14,686 for a one-way flight from Los Angeles, California, to Melbourne, Australia, paying a premium to make the 16-hour trip in peace, calling the added-on fees a shameless “money grab.”

“The lack of space in economy means I cannot do it,” Robert groaned. “Even something so simple like putting the tray table down to eat my dinner is so difficult; it doesn’t go down all the way.”

“I need to get business, or I won’t be able to eat my dinners on a plane or be touched by another passenger.”

“I burnt my boobs literally two or three weeks ago,” she griped. “I spilled hot, boiling tea on them, and I burnt them completely. My boobs are red, raw, burnt right now.”

Beyond her financial and physical frustrations, Robert claims she’s often objectified by jerks in airports — including gate agents — making jet-setting a triple shot of “hell” for the VIP vixen.

“I want people to know that it isn’t all glitz and glam,” said Robert of her internet-famous orbs. “It’s fun for sure, I love my body so much, but there are definitely downsides.”
To be fair she's using her big cans to make money so I'd say it all evens out

Concussions, CTE, and other traumatic brain injuries in football

Rugby = football contact without a helmet. The major findings of research here are that injuries are widespread across sports and most prominent in rugby. SA is a pioneering actor in promoting changes in sports that reduce traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).

The SA Sports Science Institute is involved actively in promoting research on TBIs in sports and has links to Ohio State. Their founder, Prof Tim Noakes (OSU bio) recently was a keynote speaker at Ohio State on the opening of a sports nutrition symposium. He is a world renowned sports scientist having published more than 750 papers in his career.

There is a private SA initiative, Sports Concussion South Africa but the most active research is being done Stellenbosch University, the University of Cape Town, and the University of Pretoria. If someone on BP is interested in TBI research, I hope the information below may be helpful. These universities (especially UCT) have an excellent international standing in medicine. I used Gemini AI to summarize individual units within the universities:

University of Cape Town (UCT)
UCT bridges the gap between acute neurosurgical care and the psychological/cognitive side of sports injuries. [
  • UCT Neuroscience Institute: Equipped with major philanthropic and South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) grants, the Neuroscience Institute studies acute head trauma mechanics, long-term brain health, and advanced neuroimaging.
  • ACSENT Laboratory: Operating within the Department of Psychology, this lab investigates the cognitive impacts, ⁠myths, and medical help-seeking behaviours associated with concussions among high school and university students.

Stellenbosch University (SU)
Stellenbosch University is a primary hub for sports-related head trauma research, heavily integrated with student-athlete tracking and international sports bodies.
  • Institute of Sport and Exercise Medicine (ISEM): Operating as an ⁠IOC Research Centre, ISEM frequently publishes epidemiological data tracking high concussion rates among university-level rugby players.
  • Clinical and Cellular Impact Studies: Researchers through the university focus on the cumulative cellular degradation caused by repetitive sub-concussive hits in contact sports.
  • Adolescent Athlete Databases: The university manages the ⁠South African Adolescent Athlete Database, evaluating TBI risks and injuries in youth soccer and rugby academies.

University of Pretoria (UP)
UP's focus is highly clinical, translating field injuries into localized sports medicine policies.
  • Section Sports Medicine: Academic clinicians here publish heavily on the implementation and adherence to ⁠concussion return-to-play protocols among amateur athletes and schoolboy rugby coaches.
  • Sports Concussion South Africa: Faculty members collaborate directly with this national organization to consult for the South African Rugby Union (SARU) on professional safety metrics.

WR Chris Henry Jr. (Official Thread)

HOW YA FEELIN’? Each offseason, I looked forward to The Athletic’s Ohio State fan survey. It puts a hand on the pulse of Buckeye Nation, which sometimes — but not always — differs from that of the Eleven Warriors audience.

This year, The Athletic’s Cameron Teague Robinson tackled “the state of the program, the Michigan rivalry, the 2025 season, potential College Football Playoff expansion and more.” I’ll pass along some of his survey results in this section. Let me know how you would answer them in the comments below.

With 51 new players on the roster, which newcomer are you most excited to see?​

  • Chris Henry Jr. 68.4%
  • Terry Moore 3%
  • Earl Little Jr. 13.4%
  • Christian Alliegro 4.2%
  • Ja’Kobi Jackson 5.5%
  • Others: 5.5%
Just sayin': I would have probably picked Christain Alliegro.

OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

Well, from what I remember from my bball days, a 'putback' entails grabbing a rebound and putting it in the basket. Chalk up one rebound and two points for whomever does this. Both are good looks in my opinion. Blocked shots are a good thing as well, as it prevents two points by the opponent. Also alters shots for the rest of the game, which ultimately lowers FG percentage. All sound like plusses to me....

PG Bruce Thornton (All-B1G, All-American, 4X Captain, tOSU all time scoring leader)


Ohio State memorializes Bruce Thornton's career on the record wall at the Schott

Ohio State announced on Thursday that Thornton had been added, posting a social media video of the point guard's plaque, which reads, "2nd B1G player ever with 2,000+ points, 500+ rebounds, 500+ assists. First 4-time captain in program history."
