QoTD: In golf, but I'm so bad, it really doesn't matter.

How is it cheating if you are trying to lose the game?? No one says you cheat on a test by not trying on it. Im not saying what they are doing is ethical, but it makes no sense to kick them out, when they weren't even gaining a competitive advantage and the Olympics is seeking the best doubles badminton team in the world.

If you are the best, why not play your best Alex? Why throw the match?

I totally agree with that, but I still wouldn't call it cheating or disqualify them. How can you crown someone the best when you disqualify? They had no competitive advantage going into the match. I think I saw if the Chinese won they would've had to play another Chinese doubles team and probably wanted more than one medal.

Ya, that is what I read. They wanted to get gold and silver together, not they got ZIPPY! You play to win the game!

You sound more and more like Herm Edwards by the day!! What about football teams tanking to get 1st pick? Is it cheating and should they be disqualified from it?? What say you Alex Trebek?
