It's not a war, folks. It's a game. True war veterans must grit their teeth to hear people talking about the "war" of football.
It is an extremely physical and taxing game. Intensity is everything and you can't expect a guy to turn it on and off like a switch. And games like that are not "just a game". If you had an entire football team that felt that way then they wouldn't win a game all year.

They have to get pumped up, motivated, then they hit and beat eachother all game. Then a mic gets stuck in your face after a game winning play, what, a minute later? Did you expect smiles and compliments?
