Participation trophies for everyone!
I’m with you. The winning coach displayed cruelty bordering on psychopathology. Before flaming idiots jump in . . . armed combat is the ultimate contest. You are allowed to kill your opponent in war. But. You are not allowed by any convention of civilized people to mutilate bodies, dismember pieces of corpses for war trophies. Running a full-court press to get over 100 points is the basketball equivalent. There’s no practice value in it. It’s perverse.
And so are the people applauding it. And blaming the demoralized victims. Sheesh.
