Unsporting Sports

Not very rare are the events on the grounds which resemble a battle field.The clashes on field between players is not new to sports. we then say they play spoil sports. Often we see rivalry seeding into the sporting teams and the supporting masses for both teams and then the serious clashes between the supporters of National teams.
When a nationality is attached to a team, the sense of pride and patriotism is attached too. Just the same way as a soldier would rather prefer dying than to see his nations defeat, a player cannot withstand the nation being let down due to his performance. When this stage comes, man goes unpredictable regarding his further actions.

Lets keep sports as sports. No nationality to be assigned.

We have a system in game of Football where the tournaments in European countries happen between the clubs and not between nations except the world cup tournament. we see players from differnt countries participating and playing together.
This arrangement gives a pure form of sports for us to enjoy.

Even in other sports this can be followed. If there are no clubs to take on for all sports, another arrangement can be of making use of the 'toss' more. Say for a tournament between two countries, the two teams would be formed by pooling all the players together and then randomly dividing the entire pool into two halves to play against each other.

Howz that?
