The Agony of Defeat
It was painful…it was excruciating…it was hard to watch. No, I’m not talking about Catazon’s bruised tailbone that took her out of the bout in the first jam of the second half, although that pretty much summed up being elbowed out of bounds after the whistle blew. I’m talking about no penalties being called for episodes like that. I’m talking about a team trying to pick up the slack from losing four of their best players while seemingly being continually punished for past transgressions. I’m talking about the quality of play that should be getting cleaner as we progress through the season but is instead getting dirtier. I have my own theories on “dirty” play but can’t ethically voice them in a public forum. I guess you can surmise from my tone that the Brawlers lost again. It still hurts to think about it, but it’s not as painful as the throbbing in my nether regions.
