Andrew G. "Andy" Lytle, sports editor of the Toronto Star, "whipping" four unidentified bare-backed men, circa 1950 (Toronto Archives: Fonds 1257, Series 1057, Item 3470)
Apparently dudes back in the ’50s made bare-backed pyramids with other dudes and then got hefty, fancy-looking fellows to stand behind them cheering, like they just won the Kentucky Derby or something. Hey, sometimes the spirit (most likely bourbon) moves you, but we’re thinking these guys had just polished off a case of Masculinity Lite.
