About This Quote

"Action and blood now get the game. Disdain treads on the peaceful name." This quote is very much like the quote above, but this time it is referring to war rather than sports. The words, “now get the game” are also very much like “blood now gets the game”, which means that it is almost as if war has become a game. It doesn’t take much to argue that war has become a game, but perhaps the greatest game of all is that of peace. If war can be played with no regard for lives or peace, then peace cannot be played without regard for lives.
