Use of force on undeserving citizens (initiation of force only in retaliatory
situations is allowable) is supposed to be severely reprimanded. Why the
fuck should it be tolerated in sports ? Are you beginning to understand ?

Fuck no it isn't. It became this way gradually because of lax enforcement of
rules. You're pretty short-sighted if you think that the only way to "rally" the
players is by initiating the use of force on members of the opposing team.

Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother...
