Default Re: Loosing on purpose: morally justifiable?

"Special Olympics" do you think they care who win's and who loses? They all go out there and do their best! That's what GAMES are for!!!
It's a "game" and NOT a life threatening situation. Life is not fair and to act as though it is, is called 'dreaming'. A game is competition and to not do your best is to cheat the other players who are there to establish their capabilities vs others. I'm sure there are may different opinions about this, but just ask yourself what "a game" means to you. Athletes no longer play a game, it's now a business to them. They are paid for their performance and winning and losing are important. Remember, it's a game and you should be playing for the enjoyment of it. There are all kinds of ways of balancing games to further the playing enjoyment.
