Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 2164414, member: 250"] Here is a man who has things in perspective as he speaks at the TAPS program for families of the fallen. "The first thing that comes to your mind is how many times in sports you use military jargon. We talk about, 'We're going to war against this team,' or, 'That was a tough battle to beat these guys. Our players really sacrificed a lot to accomplish this goal.' That's all well and good and I think a lot of that may have some truth to it. But in reality, after you meet these people, you change completely your view of: What is war? What's a battle? What really is a sacrifice? "I find myself, I don't use those terms anymore with my team. Because I know it's insignificant compared to what the real thing is. It's never a war when you're playing a game. You're never in a battle. Even though it's just a figure of speech. The sacrifice that you make, to do what? To play a game that you love. It brings all that home for me."
