Further, rooting for your team to lose is cowardly. So I'll end this conversation by saying that I get you now. You not only argue for irrational and cowardly things, you will insist on doing so.

| Re: Report: Trent Williams and Fred Davis Facing Suspension Quote:
Wanting Luck is not cowardly. We all would like to have Luck. However, leaving your team to suffer, even hoping that your team suffers, is cowardly. But since you don't like the word "coward," please feel free to use DynamiteRave's term instead: rooting for your team to lose is the path of a "quitter."

| Re: Report: Trent Williams and Fred Davis Facing Suspension One of the most storied NBA franchises, the Boston Celtics, recently "tanked" to try to get the top pick. I don't think Celtics fans care one way or another about it to be honest. Not saying we should tank, just playing Devil's Advocate.

| Re: Report: Trent Williams and Fred Davis Facing Suspension The "suck for Luck" debate is an interesting case of ethics at work. I am just making a comment.

| Re: Report: Trent Williams and Fred Davis Facing Suspension Quote:
Easier to do when there are 2-3 big contracts that can be offloaded to create huge cap space. The NFL is harder to do that in w/guaranteed money escalating in trades, but I think you see plenty of teams purging players & cap space. It may not be tanking per se but it's often implied. | |

| Re: Report: Trent Williams and Fred Davis Facing Suspension Ruhskins and freddy, I agree with everything you have said. I am just making the point that "tanking" happens with major storied franchises. Does the structure of the NBA make it morally ok, or less wrong, to tank? To me, tanking is tanking.

| Re: Report: Trent Williams and Fred Davis Facing Suspension Quote:
The problem with the Skins is for the past almost 20 years it seems there hasn't ever been a plan or a plan that Snyder has stuck with long enough see it succeed. For the first time in a long time it seems like Allen/Shannahan have a plan for the Redskins IMO. I felt this way when Ainge took over in Boston but it took him almost 5 years to turn straw into gold. At least he had a plan which was something the Celtics hadn't seen since Auerbach all but retired in the late 80's. It worked out in Boston. I hope it does the same in Washington but it take time and patience to see it through. I'm willing to see a couple of bad seasons because that's what it takes to rebuild a terribly run team as the Skins have been for a long time. I still root for them every Sunday like I rooted for the not ready for prime time Celtics Pre-Big Three but I'm realistic. The Skin's don't currently have the talent to contend. It is time this fan base and it's owner realizes that and be patient.

The whole root of my argument and bottom line, was basically "don't be mad skin fans when Andrew Lucks making Pro Bowl after Pro Bowl and appearing in Super Bowls, being like Oh we could have had him!" Ya we could have if we had sucked! We already suck enough to win 3 games, whats the difference between winning 3 games and 1? (Its a rhetorical question. Don't answer with 2)
