Sport is war. It's about sublimating the aggression and the hatred that humans have always employed in order to survive in hostile environments in ways that fit into modern civilised societies. We tolerate things in sport that would send citizens in the street to prison – physical and verbal abuse, preventing someone else from doing what they’re entitled to do, spitting, even. And these are completely normal. On average, an NFL player has a life expectancy some twenty years lower than that of others: this is one of America’s favourite sports. Cricket players regularly take 90mph deliveries in the face – that’s a small, hard sphere of leather and cork in the face. Travelling faster than most cars on the highway. Soccer players break legs, ankles, shatter kneecaps. So it is a misplaced concern that speaks of "violent sports" — all sport is violent, all sport is about engaging all your resources to defeat your opponents. Think about the very vocabulary of sport — beat, thrash, crush, defeat, win, humiliate — the vocabulary of war.
