Meaningless?

What if some of these kids are good enough to get a scholarship and go on to play Collage ball then good enough to get a chance at pro?

Let’s be mediocre so we don’t hurt anyone’s feelings.

Pro’s don’t want mediocre.

Yes it’s a meaningless analogy....for so many reasons.
First, business and sales production in real life has nothing to do with a sporting event in high school.
Second, your production in real business is not against each other.....this is a win win for the business, which is not the dynamic when two teams are playing each other, where a win win is not possible.
Third, running up score on lesser opposition has no translation to being a pro in that sport.

The only similarity at all is the PC notion of fairness, and the fact that the same people who would be offended by the run up of the score would want the “fair” compensation system regardless of production. Thats it.
