Colts not playing to win.

[know1]

The second stringers did play to win. They just didn't do a very good job of it. You know, like the Bengals do when they have their first string in.

Yeah - the 2nd stringers did play to win...but their coaches didn't.

They should refund the money for everyone who bought a ticket to that game.

Why? Maybe we wanted to see the second stringers play. Does the ticket say "Admit one to see only the first string"? Nope, it says Admit One. The ticket gives you the right to enter the stadium and see a game. It does not come with a guarantee of the game's results. So since I watched the game on TV, should Comcast give me a rebate on part of my cable bill? Maybe Budwieser owes me a couple bucks back for the beers I "wasted " watching the second stringers.

I get what you're saying, but I guess what makes me upset is that it just seems to go against the integrity of sports to not be giving it your best shot to win each and every game.

Agreed totally. That just is the spirit of competition is about, agreed.

Guys...in the sports world today the spirit of competition has almost no place ...professional sports is a business the same as our job is to us ....We make just about all our job or business decisions based on the bottom line and these guys do also .....I expect if they played every game to win regardless of what they had to do the rest of the season then I think fate would intervene on occasion and they probably wouldn't be coaches and managers long....
