In reply to the discussion: Utah soccer referee Ricardo Portillo dies week after being punched [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)19. The culture that teaches this is SPORTS Culture, not cinema and poetry, it is about the blood
lust called 'sport'. What is 'the art of boxing'? Punching others in the face until they drop. What do you think the Sports Culture taught young people with Michael Vick? 'No matter what, you get millions' they cheer for animal abuse, the President made phone calls for this scum.
What about Penn State?
Sorry, clean up Sports Culture. It is filled with actual violence, actual criminals, and a fan base that gets off on knowing their hero killed puppies for fun.
Cinema indeed. Television indeed. 'Hello this is the President, please pay the dog torturer millions to show children what is important'.

who said they deserved to be shot? You are adding things to appeal to your agenda/angle.

But it wasn't the authority, which was the point someone earlier had made on different thread.

but nobody said that. Stop playing your agenda to fit something that wasn't said in a gotcha.

If someone in the crowd had fired the "authority" would have brought that out.

What do they always show on the sports reports? Fighting among players and arguing with refs/umps.
