“A landmark day for the elves of Snorriheim. After 20+ seasons in the SWL, the elves have finally made the decision to hire a dirty player at their next opportunity.

And ironically, the motivation has nothing to do with the more lethal opponents.

Ideally, two elf teams should have absolutely no motivation to embark on fouling wars in a league. A matchup with a fouling war is equally as competitive as one without a fouling war. But with a fouling war, the elves risk not only survival, but will inevitably throw free lunches to the more lethal teams for nary a single decent reason. There is only the down side...and the down side to the argument.

Life with pro elves however, isn't so idealistic. Other coaches just can't resist the notion of a fouling frenzy simply because the pro elves wear pj's to the paddock. Even when the win is well and truly in the bag...

No more will we just turn the other butt cheek. Should another elf team decend into the bowels of stupidities usually reserved for those with the privalege of being blessed with the capacity of a pea, we won't just enter the fouling war, we will not relent, no matter the cost. And it will continue to the next meeting and the next, and the next, 'til the lesson hath become so glaringly obvious sunglasses will be needed.

Perchance someday we will again seek the glory of an swl premiership with pro elves, but for the time begin, that goal has been shelved.
