    PHYSICAL VIOLENCE IN SPORTS – AGAINST THE MOTION John Wooden once said: “Sports do not build character. They reveal it.” When we think of the tremendous technological progress we have made‚ it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on steel shelving arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly
