I'm a bit of a soccer fan and recently have
started reading the papers to see how
the World cup soccer tournament is
going.
When it comes to football, or any other
matter, newspaper articles NEVER seem
to mention the positive do they? Just
ask Luis Suárez!!
All travelling football fans get a bad
name when there has been trouble from
a minority. Everyone mentions it over
and over again. It's often COMPLETE over
reaction.
What I'm trying to say is that although
it's real, the media turn it into something
else.
Remember the boxer Mike Tyson in his heyday?
They had him marked as a MONSTER.Now he
had issues but they became a weapon of
intimidation with his earliest opponents. He
seemed invincible. Yet the moment he was
knocked down and defeated for the first time,
that reputation was DESTROYED.
Now, if you have the misfortune to be attacked
you won't know anything about the stranger - and
that's good. You WON'T quit mentally at the
"serious bad ass" or "hard as nails" name they
might have collected. Because you're ignorant
about it and will not weaken and freeze up like
you might have done - had you known.
My point here is that very often the biggest
advantage a local 'hard man' has is his
reputation, NOT his fighting skills.
