Bloody Hell

Today's game against Republic Poly showed me how bloody floorball can get.

Here's what happened:

Adil and the RP player collided.

Adil use his stick to whack the guy's knee when he was walking away.

The RP player got angry and used his stick to whack Adil's head.

Adil immediately collapsed on the ground.

The stick broke (WTH, must have been damn hard... )

We all rushed over to Adil.

Adil still not moving.

The RP guy started shouting at Adil, claiming " He hit me with the stick first."

The ref gave the RP player a red card.

The RP player left the court.

Adil got up and immediately swear-ed at the RP player. ( First time see him so angry...)

The RP player not happy and shouted back.

They almost started a fight.

Both team held both players back.

Our coaches went over to talk to that player.

The RP player scolded vulgarities at the coaches.

Coaches not happy and scolded the player.

The player left.

End of story. Not really actually, the coaches will be writing to the school and SFA to pursue this issue.

Sports, ain't it a just a sport? Do we need to resort to violence to solve frictions that are caused on court? What the guy did today had greatly changed my perspective on sports. When had sports become a platform for violence? Should violence even be condemned on court?

What this guy did may have greatly affected the community's perceptive on floorball. The community will start thinking "Floorball is dangerous, sticks are a form of weapon..." Many people have contributed to build up this sport in Singapore and we are enjoying their fruit of labour. What the player just did may just destroy it all as the community start to lose confidence in this sport due to it's dangers.

I find this player very selfish. His actions may just cause a huge outcry that will affect the entire floorball community. What happens on court stays in court. It was all a form of on court aggression, no violence pls.

Bloody hell...

On the other hand... I finally scored my 1st goal in Div 1!!! Haha!!! Thank Ryan for your 'instinctive pass'. Was an equaliser somemore=) 4-4

Assisted another one which could have been the decisive winner!!! 5-4, but RP scored in the last minute and ended as a draw, 5-5.
