		In the Westcoast Kickball League, the phrase "everybody wins" is astoundingly rejected.
		The League encourages deep, dark rivalries, intractable grudges, and an obsessive, unhealthy desire to achieve kickball supremacy; however, the League also fosters not hitting others in the head, wherein lies a paradox.
		With these two contradicting ethics, the League is asking teams to view playing as an act that scrapes and caresses the deepest, darkest parts of their insides, leading humans to duel in the ultimate struggle of life: Ego Fulfillment vs. Ego Destruction.
