I don't think it was good "sportsmanship" as the article claimed some to feel. Not much sporting about it at all. Was it a nice thing to do for the guy? Sure, I guess so. It is the type of thing in Amateur sports that I am totally ok with.

In a professional sport environment, I feel there is no place for tanking on purpose. So in this particular case, since it is NAIA, it doesn't really bother me too much.
