Loretober 21: Sport
The stereotype, when it comes to halfling sports, is that they're all of the aiming and throwing sort, or even that they're limited to darts and to various forms or target archery. Wrestling, however, is also a popular halfling sport.
The halfling enthusiasm for wrestling is much less well known among non-halflings than their enthusiasm for aiming and throwing sports, due to halflings being insular about wrestling. Halflings will cheerfully compete with non-halflings when it comes to archery, darts, horseshoes, quoits, bowling, etc., but not when it comes to wrestling. It's understandable when halflings avoid pitting themselves against larger races, but they also have an aversion to wrestling matches with goblins, who are generally of the same size and weight as halflings.
