I don't really agree with that.

If you're doing something you know is potentially dangerous to a player and you know it's against the rules, you could argue it and say he still did it to get to the ball before Love, not to injure Love. It still makes him a dirty player either way. Obviously the intent to injure is much worse, but you're still a dirty player if you're doing things that can hurt others, even if your motive is just to win, do better, get that loose ball whatever.
