In hockey, fighting isn’t seen as a way to injure someone, like it would be in “real life”. There is a code of sportsmanship in hockey that goes beyond the rules of the game.
When that code is broken, players will square off against the offender in defense of themselves or a teammate.
Before the hate mail comes in I’d first like to clarify that I greatly respect Bo Jackson and think he’s an incredible athlete. However, sometimes pure athleticism doesn’t directly translate on the field or in the stat sheet. I always enjoyed watching Jackson play and marveled at his strength and speed, but sometimes there’s more to becoming an all-around player at your sport.
Somewhere along the way Bo turned into a mythic hero, instead of simply a gifted athlete. ESPN went so far as to crown him with the Greatest Athlete of All Time award. Pretty surprising considering he only played 8 seasons in the MLB and 4 in the NFL.

Chess game is dominated by men players so gender-divided rankings and tournaments are there to encourage and promote chess amongst girls and women.
As there are very few female chess players in comparison to men, the said factors contribute to creating female role models, female champions, etc. It’s not meant to discriminate but to promote chess amongst girls, especially because it might be somewhat intimidating to enter a sport mostly dominated by men.
There are many tournaments in which men and women compete against each other. Right now you are not seeing women compete against the best men chess players in the world because there is no women players right now who is in the top 20 ranking of chess.
In the 90s a female GM, Judith Polgar, ranked among the top 10 best chess players in the world, played against the likes of Kasparov, Anand, Karpov etc.
There’s actually a women’s World Championship, and an Open World Championship (which any human can enter). Theoretically, a woman could win the open world championship and win it.
Joe Rogan on wrestling:
“We said it a million times but it bears repeating. Wrestling is the greatest skill to have in MMA because wrestling dictates where the fight takes place.
On top of that, amateur wrestling training is so unbelievably grueling that the guys who get through it are the guys who rise to the top are the elite of the elite when it comes to mental toughness. That is a huge part of fighting. Mental toughness and focus and the ability to work hard to achieve goals under exceedingly insurmountable circumstances.”

Well one thing is the way the game is played. With football, it is such a physical sport that you dont have time really develop guys because of the beatings those guys take week in and week out. Running backs typically fall apart when they hit the 30 year old mark. The only positions where you can be successful for a long time are qbs and kickers because they do not typically take a beating. College is basically the minors for football. You dont have the body or time to go from college to the minors to develop because one hit in football and your career is done. With baseball you can see guys playing well into their 40’s so they have time to develop their game before going pro.
Interviewer: Anderson Silva, what is worse, getting knocked out in the UFC or giving 200 interviews explaining why it happened?
Silva: Getting knocked out I guess.
Interviewer: Is it worse than people asking about it? Like I’m doing again and again and again…
Silva: No no, there will always be questions. Fans, people, they want to know what happened, but being knocked out is worse because you can’t remember. There is just a blackout, and then when you wake up you’re like, “Uh? What Happened? The fight is over?” And the ref says, “Yeah, it’s over and you lost.” “But how?” Then the ref says, “you got knocked out” “BUT HOW?” The ref then answers, “You took a big shot and fell to the mat.”

Just keep in mind that this is not a “how to” or a prescription, just an honest look at what’s really being used by pros. An actual cycle is very individual and should be changed according to individual needs.
