What Basketball and DoTA have in common

People seem to be in rage nowadays. Yesterday, while watching a basketball game, I could not help but be disturbed at the silent fistfights some players do to their opponents. I've learned that those less obvious jabs to the gut and uncalled for charges are termed as fouls, to whatever extent they may be. The referees cannot be blamed as well, some players really do a good job of faking being pushed, punched, or tripped. Never had I watched a game with so much physical contact that already borders between a display of dexterity and a riot.  Anne Lonesome, who was beside me during that time, relayed a story of how a several of our classmates were included in a brawl after a game of DoTA. She told me how our classmates were the ones who provoked the inhabitants of the internet cafe by trash talking in the chat function of the game.

I couldn't help but say "Ang g*go ninyo! Di ba kayo nagiisip?!", when I saw my classmates the next day. One was with a hematoma, another had a bruised lip. I cannot understand why these people should resort to a violent, and not to mention, uncivilized mean to settle disputes? Why can't they practice restraint and thing before they act? Why can't diplomacy be practiced in these settings? I guess I should teach them how to rant through blogging now.HAHA
