Sport is 'war minus the shooting'.... Is this true?

Pls help out





Thanks :DSport is 'war minus the shooting'.... Is this true?
the saying has some truth to it, however it is just a saying so it does not mean it literally. when you are in a sport you spend so much time in practice preparing for the game so that all scenarios have been rehearsed by game time, much like the military. you have two teams pitted against each other, much like battle. The sports teams have a lot of camaraderie and truly develpe a felling of brotherhood much like the military. those are just the major ones, so as you can see you can draw many parallels, however like the poster up above stated, they are also very differentSport is 'war minus the shooting'.... Is this true?
Hardly the case. I have been a professional athlete and made money fighting and competing while serving and put thirty-four years in with the military. In fact the Air Force re-wrote their regulations because of me and a few other individuals that were pursuing professional, athletic careers outside of the military on our own time. I competed and fought both nationally and internationally in martial arts as well as served during things going back as far as Vietnam and I can tell you that there is a huge difference. While serving I have seen the true costs and effects of war first hand on both sides as well as for some of the innocents that always seem to also have to bear a price and there is no comparison with sports or the price of competition and effects of that with those of war.
for most sports I would say it's true. You have plans, rules, strategies, opposites sides competing for the same objective, etc...





You have Offense and Defense
No, there's a lot more to war than shooting. Fear, adverse conditions, bombs, and several other things that a game of Monday Night Football can't even compare to are a part of war.
yes its tru like make out also like a war with bullet but not with a real gun
not true..explain further maybe.
