You always play to win, right? What if the team you were on
played to win, most of the time?
Would you be OK with that? Would you be OK with it if it meant advancing your
daughter’s team to the championship game?
There is some controversy now about a team throwing a game
on purpose to position themselves more favorably in the Softball Little League World Series. I think it’s wrong and the
coaches should be penalized. And at this age, I’m sure the girls on the team,
especially their four hottest hitters who were benched during the game in
question, knew about the plans the coach had laid out for that fateful game.
Unfortunately, we’ve come across some teams that “throw”
games on purpose to either position themselves better, or to totally screw
another team out of a good position. No matter what any organization or
association says, this issue has to be dealt with. What kind of message does
this teach to the girls? Try your best all the time except for when it can
benefit you better for losing. Say what?
What do you think about this?
