Sports players, who won’t play sports. How about in the NFL, players who start to refuse to play in games against easier opponents so they can avoid injuries.
However you slice it, they are unsportsmanlike. Just like Simone Biles he quitter.
They aren’t playing for anything, which is the point. No one cares about bowl games anymore. Not the same as playing for gold. If players drop out of the bcs playoffs then I’d agree.
In the NFL, coaches will often keep their star players on the bench and send out the second string if victory looks certain, to avoid risking injury to a highly paid player.
