I m pitching. Some pro sports can be extremely violent. Defensive end Sean Jones compares being a pro football player to being a gladiator in a Roman coliseum. Have pro sports been drug down to barbaric customs of the past. Some Minnesota Vikings say, It s not good business if you care weather blood is bubbling from a guys mouth.
Some people think that players try to hurt each other on purpose.
Such as the Philadelphia Eagles who joked about Body bags When they injured Washington quarterbacks Jeff Rutledge and Stan Humpphries in a 1990 game. And then they were accused of going out of there way to injure the Dallas Cowboys place-kicker. It s not just present day sports players either. Ty Cobb was one of the best baseball players of all time, He was fortunate that he played in the first part of the century because his temper would not be tolerated in todays pro baseball league. When Cobb met up with an equally grim competitor the results could be gory.
