3. Analysing the Phenomenon and Essence of “Dirty talks” in Sports Games
In various sports games such as in NBA and English premier League, dirty talks between rivals are common and
prevalent in the game, and sometimes are even indispensible ingredients which help to entertain and catch the eyes of
the enthusiastic audience.
Dirty talks or trash words happen in nearly all of the games where frequent and fierce body contacts are inevitable. I
conclude that dirty talks frequently happen because of the following root causes.
Reason 1. The unharmonious growing family background
The majority of sports players were born poor and were raised up in an unharmonious family environment destitute
of parental care and inundated with bludgeons, family violence and physical abuse. Their parents were impatient to
talk with them in a reasonable manner when they unintentionally made a mistake. Instead, their parents usually
resorted to fist and stick to “educate” their children. As a result, a slap on the face and a hit on the buttocks are a
common routine. As you can imagine, young kids brought up by such family would in a very likelihood imitate their
parents’ aggressive treatment to others and impute their resentful childhood experiences to their future on-court rivals
by inhumane fouls and vulgar dirty talks to release their anger, temper, disappointment and complaint.
