"Tear 'em apart!" "Kill the fool!" "Murder the referee (裁判)!"
These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the
time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let's not kid ourselves.
They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real
bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has
been shown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react
in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior.
I see the term "opponent" as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come
to delete it from sports terms.
The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent "is "adversary ": "enemy ";
"one who opposes your interests." "Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he
or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may
dominate one's intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be
considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee
refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did
not considered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across
his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. "Are they wet enough now?"
In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across
the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on
anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's
international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball
as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good
friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court
attitude which departs from normal behavior.
Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level
where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world.
Replacing the term "opponent" with "associate" could be an ideal way to start.
The dictionary meaning of the term "associate" is "colleague"; "friend";
"companion." Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference
in your reaction to the term "associate" rather than "opponent."
