Do studies show if police patrol officers and fighting military have similar problems controlling aggression in their private lives? Do female athletes have similar problems? What is the nature of competitiveness in humans? Does the physical sexual aspect bring up deep responses from primitive parts of the brain? Can aggression be directed from the physical into intellectual activities such as business and religion? If so, can the damage done in extreme mode be even worse? Athletes beat up a few within their reach – the others can beat up mass populations.
Oh, wow! Ted Rall has boldly pointed out the contradiction that’s existed in professional sports since day one! Why hasn’t anyone else ever noticed this? Dude…!

Competitiveness is a sickness promoted by class society. We need less competition and more cooperation, less winning and more sharing.
