Literary Team Talk

[notreallyhere]

I read this pre-match team talk in a novel by Garrison Keillor about an amateur baseball team coach in America and thought it might be appropriate for the derby tomorrow:

"Boys, this game may be your only chance to be good... You might screw up everything else in your life and poison the ones who love you, create misery, create such pain and devastation it will be repeated by generations of descendants...

Boys, there's plenty of room for tragedy in life, so if you go bad, don't have it be said that you never did anything right.

WIN THIS GAME"

Come on City!

If that team talk were given to me I'd come out of the dressing room slitting my wrists.

Haha, yeah I think it's meant to be black humour.
