I'm glad he was able to connect with his dying father, something I hope a lot of us can experience. But personally speaking, I hate sports metaphors. And to say, "I get to hate without fear of violence" seems to be a morally irresponsible view.
If you hate sports analogies, why do you read sport stories?
Thanks John, I also hate having to go to work on Monday morning. Will you call in sick for me?
