Message: [QUOTE="blizz, post: 3142539, member: 4252"] I think I made a nuanced argument that you rehashed in an absolute way. I'm glad you're amused. I'm just here to have a good time too. GGG is a reference to Gennady Golovkin, middleweight champion. Yes, I'm comparing football to fighting. Specifically the mindset needed to win at a high level in either sport is very similar, if not identical. Coach comes from the Hungarian 'kocsi szeter' adapted to French as 'coche' and later bastardized in English to 'coach' as a slang term for a tutor. So, a coaches job is literally to carry another on a path. Reckless endangerment of the subject is quite evidently self-defeating. My earlier point was not that the coaches should seek to endanger their players, but rather the players are sufficiently endangered by the nature of the game. [/QUOTE]
