sore loser
I'm a sore loser. How can i not be?
Here's a simple story.
Once upon a time there was three teams. Let's name them team Z, C and J. This 3 teams are fighting for 2 places for the next round. Z won J 2-0, then J won C 2-1. So if we go by the by-right theory, Z will win C right? Even if we do not go by the by-right theory, we just go by the professional view or even the non-professional view of those who seen Z and C play, all of them will say Z will win C hands down.
C won Z 2-1. Score 25-20, 20-25, 27-25.
How convenient. This is the only scoreline that will see Z top the three teams without any 2 teams tying in sets won/lost.
Yah, forgot to mention. Z and C have the same coach.
That is what you get for promoting sports and sportmanship.
Oh yah. Forgot to mention this point. The coach and me sort of know each other. He better not let me see him. Maybe I will feel the urge to beat him up.
Nowadays who cares about sportsmanship? Winning and qualifying means you get to retain your job (for at least another year), increase in budget and maybe your pay as well.
To some people, going against your own conscience does not hurt.
Come to think of it, I thank all my coaches who never asked me to delibrately lose a match before. Maybe I will fall out with him straight away.
All the sports got their dark side.
