: first wants to be a sport, so act like one.

I'm in agreement with you here. Everyone's interpretation of the rules will always be a bit different.

: in football i wouldn't hit somebody softly so they wern't hurt.

I'm still with you... if you're gonna play the sport, you should be able to handle the contact.

: i want to try to injure them, take them out of the game, within the rules of course. that is what will help my team.

WHOA! Hold it right there. You should never try to injure someone, whether you're playing on the gridiron or battling with robots. You might want to re-think this one... after 16 years of playing football (grade school, middle school, high school, college, and semi-pro), not one coach ever directed me to injure an opposing teammate. I'll admit that there was temptations to do that, but the intent to injure should absolutely not be there. You should play the game within the rules... but not to maim.

just my $0.02
