In sports, our misdirected ire manifests itself when we write silly columns like Whitlock’s, or when we chastise Barry Bonds for cheating when our society prioritizes winning at any cost, or when we bad-mouth Alex Rodriguez for loving money despite this nation’s materialistic culture.

...coach and be required to feed back information on training and tactical suggestions to members via a blog. Daish backs the plan, and as Brooks points out, "Liam has never paid any money for a player before, now he might be able to buy one."
