Is it a Terminal Contact sport? I can (just) stand it then. As St.Paul


wrote... farmer, soldier, athlete. (his 3 pet examples)

All 3 know suffering, so they know perseverance, and depending upon
their given outcome... they know humility or thanks.

Tho' the athlete is NON-compulsory.
Gotta eat. You gotta defend you and yours.
You do not gotta to take crackback cervical hits.
Or a bazillion sparing uppercuts, hooks, jabs to the brain.

The athlete suffering on a voluntary basis; wins.
-----------
So in boxing or USofA football?
I can just stand that or: "its a war out there" or "battling".

Because there are times it literally is.
