By the time the ref can call foul, the damage is done. (though I suspect many drawn to participating in the sport without the scratchoff may be over compensating to avoid the scratch off version. I remember leaving exactly one practice of high-school wrestling thinking "yeah, right". I don't have any qualms about hurting others, though I find the idea of them hurting me offensive - but in any case doing it up that close makes it a lot less appealing <s> )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
