Not just any old sports though. Here they take on a tribal quality... (ask anyone who thinks there is such a thing as a friendly football match between Cardiff City and Millwall.)
And this is where I don't quite get American football. I mean, all that body armour...
In rugby, it's not uncommon to have players on the pitch streaming blood, teeth knocked out, and on at least one memorable occasion, playing with a dislocated shoulder.
So... any stories about sport violence or bravery you would like to share here? I'm fascinated hearing about different sports!
