Message: [QUOTE="blizz, post: 3142101, member: 4252"] So black and white. No room for nuance? Thanks for labeling my thoughts a hot take. But I'm not making jokes. Do you really have to tell a player at this level to be careful? Does GGG's trainer tell him to protect himself at all times? Why does the ref always say it at the beginning of a fight? Point being, there is tension between playing to win and playing in a way that minimizes the chance of injury. You have to walk a line somewhere in between. Each player has a different line, a different level of risk they are willing to accept. I see a coach as having a role as an observer that should be biased toward winning, pushing the risk level toward the line of recklessness but not past it. [/QUOTE]
