I didn't get logic and reason, so I didn't get the underlying concepts. "The spirit of competition" wasn't good enough justification for me. I could run, throw, catch, kick, defend, block, slide, etc etc, but had no interest in doing so like I was some trained monkey following command grunts. None of my school coaches were smart enough to provide the logic and reason, they just knew "sport am good" and dragged their knuckles around the yard.
After years of observing various sports, I call it like I see it, and what I see still makes no sense. Boxing has degenerated into bar brawling, and then MMA comes along and it's sanctioned street/gang fighting. That crap's being taught to 8 year olds at the schools around here.
As a sport, not as everyday schoolboy life.
