Emotionally kneecapping your opponents is a good strategy. Take away their anger or whatever, and maybe they won't play so hard, which means we'd be safer.
But then we'd be more angry, more spiteful, or whatever. That might change how we play. Prob'ly that's gonna happen anyway, depending on what the other teams do to us, but the idea of starting out that way just makes my skin crawl. Changing people's feelings isn't a "soft option" to me.
Then again, I'm just me. For some people, physical trauma is gonna be worse. Or losing a sense could be worse.
