Sport is irrational. Accept it. It's founded upon human emotion and believe it or not, doesn't always make sense. Madrid has a culture that you have never, and probably will never, truly accept and appreciate. And that's fine.
One goal everyone can agree upon is that you are trying to win. Anything that is very counterproductive to achieving the central focus is irrational.

I do agree with that to an extent. The goal of sport, and competition in general, is to win.
And I don't think Dandy would completely disagree with that either.
Considerations have to be had, though, that conform to the nature of the club, or organization, in question.
I doubt many locals would be thrilled if Brazil changed tactics to play like Stoke on the international stage, even if a World Cup trophy accompanied said change. The country has a footballing culture, and massive history, and going against that will cause friction.
I think Dandy is saying something similar, albeit on a smaller scale.
I can't think of a similar example for any sport in the US. Our culture truly does place winning above everything else, which could spark an additional conversation concerning the acceptance (or abstinence) towards polarizing athletes.
