For as long as there has been sport played at the highest level, there has been varying degrees of trash talk. Had those kinds of expressions been heard in open society, away from the games, it would offend most right-thinking people. But what***8217;s happening now, with more media and more microphones, with analysts between benches of pro games, words are being heard, names are being called, and the discussion of what can and cannot be said has become real. But what needs to be understood, and seems lost in translation, is that the field of play in almost any sport, should not be confused with the rules of society. You cannot, walking down the street, plow your neighbour into a wall. In hockey, it***8217;s called a body check. You cannot sack the paper boy, delivering late on your driveway. In football, that is part of the game. It is the same with words. What is spoken on the field has no relevance to real life and historically no real meaning, either. Confusing one with the other is unhealthy and basically unnecessary.
I like this paragraph.
Those ones about British cigarettes and small bundles of wood?
