It really is so sad that sports somehow contribute to this weird kind of hatred between people from different countries. <br /><br />I look forward to reading more of your blog. There's so much noise out there, blogs like yours and Thandiwe's are really important. I hope you both continue blogging classes - the things that you write deserve to be heard, and more importantly, I think people could really benefit from the things that you guys write.B.

I heard about the venom that occurred between the Egyptians and Algerians and I thought how troubling that sports can drive people who are connected in many ways into craziness. In football (as used in America) I always cringe when I hear athletes being coached to smash or kill another player as a way of referring to bringing a player down. Too much testosterone can be deadly, not that it's simply men who take it over the top, but mostly I think. In Brazil, a few years back, I think either a player or coach was killed by a fan because he apparently did not perform up to winning par. I used to play basketball and I love it, and I am competitive too, but I think there's a line, and <br />hopefully it won't be crossed in your Wednesday game or any other sport anytime soon. Enjoy!thandiwe Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14034507235526368793noreply@blogger.com
