If this article "relates specifically to sports", why is wrasselin' mentioned? Zenmiester 11:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
This article appears to discuss the general dynamics of team sports, and uses a disparate array of references to do so. This appears to be synthesis of an argument not advanced by any source in particular, and especially not the one which the article is ostensibly devoted to. This need thoroughly re-thought. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:12, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the list from the article. As the article itself admits, there is no set definition for the term and it can be considered pejorative. To build such a list is clearly original research and as such does not belong on Wikipedia. The rest of the article is also full of OR and orignial synthesis problems but the list felt like a more pressing problem. Pichpich ( talk) 17:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
The section on the American English usage dedicates a lot of space to snooker, cricket, and (association) football. This can either be taken as proof that there's no real trans-Atlantic distinction, or it needs to be cleaned up. Meesher ( talk) 12:08, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
The description of a journeyman in boxing seems quite out of date. It would probably have been accurate 50 years ago, but today the term is usually used to describe boxers who take fights with no intention of winning them - they just want to get through the rounds without being stopped or getting injured so that they can be out again the next weekend. These were historically referred to as 'opponent fighters'. I'll dig out some sources when I can. -- Michig ( talk) 17:32, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
