Affection, and value are how KU fans feel towards basketball and the document of the rules. Nevertheless, according to the article, “Sympathy for the Blue Devils: There’s No Place Like Home, “Swade’s belief that he’s on an almost biblical quest would be comical if he weren’t so obnoxious”(Bellamy 1).

Trash-talking is part of many sports where the team indulges in verbal sparring or verbal jousting with their rivals to gain a psychological advantage over them. They speak some nasty things to each other on the field. It can be innocuous to a degree. Trash-talk happening on the field is acceptable and it is considered as part of the sport.
