I don’t understand why this is a good thing.
If I was injured, I wouldn’t want to impose on anyone else to take away from their personal achievement.
This is actually an example of equal-outcome training - the brainwashing is working even on FR.
Tell that to the boots in the sandbox. Granted, their not in competition with each other, but really now.
I agree. It's no different than helping an injured player across the goal line or letting an injured player make an easy basket while you're guarding them. Sounds like a wonderful story, but is essentially a feel-good story designed to appeal to females.
In the 1970 NBA finals, the story went that Wilt Chamberlain took it easy on the injured Willis Reed. I don't know if it's true or not, but the previous game, which Reed missed, Chamberlain scored 45 pts. There's no way Reed, who could barely run, could have stopped Wilt from scoring at will. If true, it cost the Lakers the title. That's why you don't let up on an injured (or tired) competitor.
They were both way behind the pack anyway.
