Major league baseball has asked its players to stop tossing baseballs into the stands during games, because they say fans fight over them and they get hurt. In fact, the Florida Marlins said that's why they never hit any home runs. It's a safety issue.
I don't think it's a matter of, do you win the game or not, it's how gracefully do you play it.
Don't cuss. Don't argue with the officials. And don't lose the game.
Games have been called the lab for the development of moral attributes, but they will not, of themselves, accomplish this purpose. They must be properly conducted by competent individuals.
I'm not loud. Not gonna be crazy with the refs.
As far as being on the officials every five minutes, it's just not good for the game. The officials don't like it; you embarrass them, so it's just not good. Now, every now and then they might make a bad call, but officiating is hard.
Check my records: you'll find I've never caused a bad injury to a player.
I don't have any problem with tackles or duels, but I react when I notice that someone is only trying to kick me out of the game. But I never have the intention to hurt anyone. Everything is forgotten again a minute later.
I want to stress again one aspect of the game which is most important. Never argue with an umpire.
