是没有战火和硝烟的战争。
严肃的体育运动与公平竞赛毫无关系。它充满了仇恨、嫉妒、夸耀、无视一切规则,以及目睹暴力时的虐待式快感:换句话说,它就是没有硝烟的战争。
"Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard for all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting."
— George Orwell, "The Sporting Spirit," (1945)
