Sport Culture and American Pragmatism

In discuss his hopes for the upcoming season, University of Colorado head football coach Jon Embree well expresses the philosophy of American pragmatism that I wrote about a few weeks back:

"I just want to get one more point. I don't care if [the score] is 3-2. We have to create that culture. All that other stuff, style points and all that, it doesn't matter. I hope I can sit here and be called the worst 5-0 team in the country. I'd rather be that than the best 0-5 team any day."
