Just as their very conceptions of what the martials art interract strangley.

Allow me to explain.
We frenquently get those little scuffles between those interested in the teachings of the dojo and those who claim the ring (or cage, or even sidewalk) is the proper measure of the martial arts.
May I suggest that the missunderstanding comes from the fact we actually live in very different universes. The student of the martial arts (in a dojo) is not necessarily encouraged to question the validity of techinque. He is asked to accept the technique in a wider context. The dojo martial artists is not constantly concerned about the finality of everything. But he is also the one whose curiosity leads him to discoveries.
The ring-oriented martial artist, on the other hand, is much more interested in the mechanical aspect, and the effectiveness of technique. He relies on the tradition of the masters who studied his art with patience, however. The ring artist is usually younger,

Would Man U be at the top of the log if the referee decisions were accurate?

I mean we've all seen the replay all their penalties and there is no doubt 90 percent of them were not penalties but it helped them get 3 points in different games.

Thanx!

Is there unnecessary violence in football?...?

Should/would penalties added onto the ball field be welcomed or would it dilute the quality of the game?

Are there enough penalties to protect the players on the field with penalties for late hits, roughing the kicker, etc.?

Stingley's Life Served as Cruel Lesson
Players Getting 'Jacked Up' Nothing to Celebrate
By IRA MILLER
AOL
Sports Commentary

The death this week of former New England wide receiver Darryl Stingley should serve as a wakeup call and a reminder to all of us -- those violent hits we cheer every weekend are very, very real.

Twenty-nine years ago this summer, Stingley was a promising, 26-year-old wide receiver with the Patriots . Jack Tatum was a 28-year-old star safety with the Oakland Raiders . John Madden, at 42, was the successful Raiders coach embarking on his 10th season.

Stingley, once a first-round draft choice with speed and promise, fell to the ground in a heap. He never got up. His career was over, never able to catch another pass or run another pattern. He spent the rest of his days in a wheelchair, a quadriplegic.

Tatum, previously selected to three consecutive Pro Bowls, became known for a single play, legal under the rules (although he didn't help himself later with a book titled, "They Call Me Assassin"). He has had health problems of his own in recent years.

Madden, who spent considerable time by Stingley's bedside in the hospital and became very close to him, clearly was affected. Although Madden said it was not the reason he retired from coaching after that season, he said the Tatum-Stingley play "hit me hard just as a human being."
