Don’t feel left out, southpaws.
August 13 marks the annual celebration of International Left Handers Day, a holiday that, according to The Telegraph, was created by “Dean R. Campbell, founder of the Left-Handers International Inc” in 1976 “to help raise awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed”.
The perceived difficulties of being left-handed are perhaps best on display in the National Football League’s quarterback ledger. Less than one percent of quarterbacks since 2017 have been left-handed and last season saw no lefties used in an NFL game. Miami Dolphins draft pick Tua Tagovailoa is set to break the inactivity if and when he plays a game in 2020.
