That's basically my problem. Thugs have a different definition of sportsmanship or have no idea what it is. Additionally, too many athletes have an inflated idea of their abilities and worth. They do not respect coaches and they are not team players. Granted, there are exceptions, but there are a lot of very average players that think they are God's gifts.
My real turn off however has been the ghetto nature of athletes. I have nothing in common with the vast majority of athletes. Then they bring their Marxist politics to the game.
As for your comment about hockey. I was okay with fighting back in the 70's to a point. I played hockey growing up and understood what it meant to have a weapon in your hand, sharp skates on your feet and no helmet on your head. It leads to occasional fights. Then it went too far. At least the NHL reined in that problem. I stopped watching hockey when the Flyers tore down the statue of Kate Smith over a song she sang back in the 30's. That was the last straw. Soon hockey will be filled with negroes playing and it will become a complete thugs sport like the rest of them.
Roger that.

This is their chosen trade. Are you telling me that after a work week you didn’t get in the face of other people celebrating, dancing, talking trash, & violently taunting others for doing exactly what you were being paid to do in the first place?
These guys are so entitled and special that they get away with raping coeds on a weekend just to let off steam. They work so hard and their talents so important to our nations well-being they were exempt from the Me Too movement and are allowed to continue raping unimpeded. It’s just a cultural nuance.
