I think games bring people closer to all that is embroiled in humanity. In our humanness. I’m thinking here of the classic, ‘Chariots of Fire’.
I can understand that a spectator may see the game as being an assault towards the other (i’m thinking here re, Aussie football and Grid Iron..I don’t like these games. I find them too rough, violent if you like). Games like cricket, need team work. And, players are trained to strive for that oneness or that unification of being ‘team’ within the confines of ‘rules’...and these rules constitute the game.
I’m not comparing Catholicism and cricket here but if the Church didn’t have rules well, what a mess things would be. Rules are necessary...and on a brighter note may well help keep you ahead of the game, so-to-speak!
Cheers
