Subject: RE: BS: Role model my 'arris!
I actually think that biting is triggered in the amygdala part of the brain, the primitive, instinctive section. Add to that male testosterone produced during 'fight' (ie a physical sport) and I suppose men have to try hard to control their basic urges. But it CAN be controlled, as the vast majority of players do NOT bite anybody! I agree with Will Fly, attitudes generally were far different in 'our' day. I also think modern football triggers violence and aggression in speactators which spills over into street life.
