Dunked On
Basketball involves a great deal of dunking, though the majority of it is physical in nature. Despite this, most of it can be interpreted as allegorical. Things like these are of the metaphorical sort, and we don’t think we need to go into too much detail to explain what we mean by that.
We believe that basketball is the sport with the greatest chance of this type of incident occurring because of the amount of jumping that occurs during the game. A really terrible hazard that goes along with the region.
Flat Out
When you consider all of the jumping and running around that athletes have to do, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they get knocked down every now and then. In most cases, such humiliating slips and falls result in some very amusing situations that we can all laugh at. We don’t have a lot of space to laugh, though, because those athletes are frequently performing feats that we could never hope to achieve.
Nonetheless, it is acceptable to chuckle at such antics as long as you maintain a respectful attitude toward their ability at the same time.
