A strange little side quest
Zoom out from Ben10: Penalty Power for a moment and the timeline gets surprisingly deep. The penalty kick entered football's laws in 1891 and was nicknamed the 'kick of death' in its early days. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
