How does this affect the LOLtrophies more than Tasmania gutting mid season?

Hint: it doesn't.

It doesn't, but both of those things - a throwing of a game and gutting mid season - violate the spirit of fair play, which just about every competition depends on for its validity.

You talking about this season or last season? Because you sound fairly out of the loop.

You're grasping for straws with this argument. I understand that they made roster changes that would make it virtually impossible for them to win a game. Teams gutting or taking similar actions in the WL is another issue that needs to be resolved, but it isn't at issue here. What's at issue here is an attack on the purpose of the WL league by the owners of the teams involved. Not being good enough to compete is one thing. Some of the teams here just aren't as good as the others; the whole point of playing the games is to decide who is better. On the whole other end of the spectrum is creating a game plan to purposefully throw a game and in the process screw over every one else. It shows an utter lack of respect for the competition that this league was supposed to create, and it screws over every individual player who cares about how his dots do.

In terms of that matchup: What's to respect? There was no competition to be had in that game. This isn't the NFL. "Any Given Sunday" doesn't apply here. There are a lot of GLB games that are over before they start, including that one. No attack on the purpose of WL occurred IMO.

Think he was pointing out that nobody flips a bitch of this magnitude when it happens to any other group of individuals.

It bothered many others too. Many of whom are also bothered by Tasmania gutting and the Hali / BFM joke game. These are all branches from the same tree here. Just because you acknowledge only one of those branches, and claim another branch isn't on that tree, doesn't change that reality.

Kind of like players leaving one WL team to go to another once the team they were originally on is eliminated from playoff contention?

My point is that Bort had a chance to do something about Lake Opeta and he did not. That makes it a different tree.

The reality that there's obvious bias going on with the bitching?

Yeah that too.

Mid season is gutting, while terrible, is accepted pratice on GLB. Open cheating between two teams is not.

Everyone got to play LOL from the same conference in the same sorry state. And Hokie had the decency not to move his center to play QB, kicker playing DT, etc. The only reason LOL wasn't cool was it did reduce one side of the conference to only having to "worry" about 14 other teams... but on the other side of the conference you had the Kai, so I think it evened out really.

Yea, because j-walking and rape should be treated just the same in a court of law, right? Get a clue you dumb sack of shit.

except to a small degree that happens in real life. Nothing wrong with a few players moving around between eliminated teams and contenders. There is a problem when it's more than a few and it's one of the reasons why there is a trade deadline, roster freeze, chemistry hits and limitation on transactions between teams. We've already had all of those scandals and have methods in place to deal with them.
