I wouldn't call football a conflict but
it was a great example of definite out-groups. Our entire school
would be in a fierce competition with the other school and things
would definitely be divided. All throughout the week we would joke at
the other team's expense saying things like: “They have more
turnovers than Arby's” or “They couldn't run their way out of a
paper bag” because we just felt like we were better than they were
even if we hadn't beaten a school in four or five years. The other
schools were cast out even more at the games where their stands were
on the coldest and windiest part of the field. All of this soon lead
to more snickering and joking about the other school and their not so
stellar plays and or penalties, while still praising our players even
if they lost by more than thirty points.
I wouldn't say that we made plays like this when I played... All I'm saying is that no one ever had a camera when we did. Enjoy:
