" Deliberate acts of violence are not common in baseball or basketball or soccer (at least not by the players)." You don't get much more deliberate than that crash at home plate. The whole intent is to hit the catcher hard enough to make him drop the ball. The catcher does wear protective gear but it really just protects him from a pitched ball, not a 250 pound, roided up player, coming in at 30 feet per second. If those guys were bright enough to do as they were trained, they'd protect themselves form oncoming cleats. Besides, you do get a lot more deliberate than the play at home plate that comes once every few innings at best... In football you have pre-planned plays, designed to get as many huge men to hit one guy at once as possible... They know to "one hit high, one spin, one strip the ball by smashing the guy in the head as hard as possible".. This is every 3-7 seconds during any football game... There is not one player in the NFL that doesn't make each and every hit with the intent of putting someone out of the game... |
