Perhaps this is often used but in application, it may not be as easy as it may be. Today is Street Games and the rules of the game was to have only 7 players and it was alleged that one of the teams field 8 players. Accordingly they were suppose to be disqualified and as the other teams were unhappy about it, they complained to the organisers and feedback about this to me.
Well.. To me, I don't really see a big issue with that as I feel that in sports, winning is not everything. But the element of sportsmanship and spirit. 3 teams wanted to boycott the games as they felt that the other team did not have integrity. In my opinion, it is not a good solution as boycotting the game just make things worse and it just make things easier for the other team with lesser teams to compete. When the other team does not have integrity, it is about getting it back by winning them on the court and not by walking off. Just like the Singapore-Thailand match that we watched at National Stadium last year, Thailand walked off the field as they were unhappy with the referee's call. That is not sportmanship and many of the football fans watched in disgust. If that is the case, why is it that when it is happening to ourselves, we are supportive of it?
Haha.. Cause to comment is easier than to do it ourselves. So lesson for today is that, if your opponent cheated, take them on the battle ground and not leaving it totally. Don't expect everyone to be perfect cause everyone ain't perfect.
Happy holidays!
