Hell, they’re emasculating the warriors of the military - high time they do the same to the sports arena warriors. The drive to work hard to win is part of what keeps the Human race plugging along and they want to kill it off .. oh wait, that would save Mommy Earth.

What I can’t seem to uncover is if they draw a distinction between
trash talking and taunting. Clearly there are rules against taunting
even in pro sports like the NFL. As one who coached HS football
fot 11yrs I never cared for trash talking OR taunting. I’ve always
considered quiet confidence to be the “American Way”. Trash
talk to me is for the friggin Nazis and we quietly and confidently
kicked their asses. What I disliked especially was parents and fans
giving the opposing players grief from the stands. Our rival
was an inter-city all minority school. We prepped our kids for fan
generated abuse and we beat them as much as they beat us.
