Attaining material success by unleashing and exploiting the Beast within is a Faustian bargain that should be portrayed as a cautionary tale: If your aptitude is shoveling shit, shovel shit; if your aptitude is beating up other people, shovel shit.

If I were King, the contact in Contact Sports would be limited to a handshake at the end of competition.
