Meditation on Trash Talk

By Colin Hogan, Swimming World College Intern

Trash talk: you either love it or you love to hate it.

No matter your opinion on it, big-mouthed banter reigns as the second most competitive element of organized sports, only behind the athletic contest itself. Proudly and unsurprisingly, the fans are the most ruthless trash-talkers because all the unruly bleacher creatures only have so much at stake– pride and the price of their tickets, at the most.

That’s why when the athletes get involved in a snarly exchange, even the most pleasant of spectators grab the popcorn and settle into their seats. Endorsements, contracts, playing time are all on the line. What was previously the field, the pool or the court transforms into the stage. Players are off-script, and we can’t help but be fascinated with the test of character that’s different than the one we showed up to see.
