Paul Roos criticized the war analogies in sport some years ago.
Personally I think war/sport analogies belittle the sacrifices and realities of the actual battlefield.
In no way is it an accurate comparison.

Oh my you really just embarrassed yourself with your complete lack of understanding. Although if you're over 18 do get yourself down to recruiting and enlist.how are real soldiers brave? most of the time they sit in camp eating kfc, or shoping in a walmart upon a aircraft carrier.
i can appreciate if people are talking about ww1 era marching into marching gun fire being brave / stupid
the like of alex rance, joel selwood have bigger gonads than most 'warriors' in warzones these days ...
I share your background. I just hate when they refer to players as heroes. That should be saved for EMergency Service people.I did 10 years in the Army (infantry) and am not in the least bothered by commentators using military analogies.
He shoots he scoresAnd is it used to build team mentality? I think you are vastly overstating the "millitarisation", in terms of language of lower league sports. I never heard it playing basketball, rarely, and only in the most incomprehensible way during footy.
Just as I am uncomfortable calling 20 game players greats. Or 200 game players Legends.I'm uncomfortable calling all people that have served as heroes, we like to think we fight for justice and peace, we're the good guys right? Some of the stuff the anzacs did would make your sick crawl
Shooting is a term not confined to guns or the millitary, you realise this right?He shoots he scores
Freedom of speech is not freedom from being critiqued.Who cares. Freedom of speech
Neither is Warriors or trenchesShooting is a term not confined to guns or the millitary, you realise this right?
Go back and read my first post.Neither is Warriors or trenches
That sentiment gets hijacked by politicians unfortunately
Whilst I think your assertion is ridiculous hyperbole, I'll bite.
Perhaps said 'hijacking' is not so unfortunate...

No, it's terribly unfortunate.
The left love the term "nuanced", but if there's a section of society that is incredibly rigid in their thinking it's them.
All of their views are predicated by how things make them "feel" and it leads to the most inane and irresponsible policies known to man that are often worse than what they're railing against.
Their motto - "We must do something, this is something, therfore we must do this".
Thanks for your response, however, I'll crease arguing with drones.
Personally I am over the glorification of war on any front. However, I don't mind the idea of sports people as warriors. Better doing it on a field than on the streets of downtown Bhagdad ...
