No... not at all EY.

It's quite simply about aggression..then what you can get away with. It's a learned behavior that builds upon itself.

I hear ya EY, you are not wrong but there's a certain level that some kids play at that surpasses the PC thinking you are clinging to. I'm talking D-1 kids that are looking at prep school and will do whatever it takes to win or at the very least, represent themselves.

She wasn't right but she has heart... You can't teach heart.
Simple as that.



I think we're speaking a different language. The player with "heart" is the one who gets up and keeps playing hard after being fouled by the person cheating, not the cheater.

Unfortunately, I was raised by a father who was a volunteer football coach who made Vince Lombardi seem like a pre-menstrual ballerina when it comes to being "non-PC" in sports, but if I had ever pulled something as stupid as that chick I would have been non-PC punched in my non-PC head by my non-PC father.

I was expected to work harder, practice longer, perform better and play cleaner than anybody else, not cheat. Sorry, the non-PC good old days in sports were never about getting away with cheating. Vince wouldn't have tolerated it, my old man wouldn't have tolerated it, and I don't tolerate it.

I don't know what is worse, the PC police who have tried to change competitive sports, or the lazy, weak, and un-athletic dweebs who cheat and rationalize their behavior as being tough and non-PC. I still play the occasional pick up game and there are plenty of both around.
