    Silly rough housing!
    I take proper, loving care of my trophies. And put them
    carefully in my library, where probably not another eye will see them,
    until my widow has to truck them to donate at a thrift store.
    Hmmmm......

    While these ceramic trophies are beautiful, they really need to make
    rubber "stunt" dummy versions for the podium celebrations... Give them the
    real thing afterwards, when there's no danger of it getting smashed!

    ...and Hadjar didn't break it on the podium, but when he was getting a
    group photo with his team.

    Yep. The comment you replied to that said "silly rough housing" was obviously written by someone
    who had only heard about the trophy on social media and had no clue how it happened. They are SO
    fragile and Hadjar was mortified as you can see in this short video: <https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NRXkb7d9iHM>
    The trophy broke through the line where it's joined - they're made in two pieces then stuck together.

    That's bad game theory. That perturbs the equilibrium towards one of
    less respect for the trophies.

    However, this particular one looked like a dud. It didn't break, it came
    apart along a seam.

    Ah, they don't make 'em like they did in the Olde Days.
