Message: [QUOTE="Waquoit, post: 2796037, member: 50"] Anyone else take a gut at UConn called "Philosophy of Sports"? The instructor posited that an intentional foul is cheating. I immediately thought that was ridiculous. But my thinking quickly reversed. Intentional fouls [I]are[/I] cheating. Intentionally breaking the rules for competitive advantage is cheating, period. That breaking the rules in these situations is expected is a major flaw in the game. It's a flaw that hasn't be able to be fixed to date with the punishment approach. But this flaw is eliminated with the Elam Ending. And by not requiring our student-athletes to cheat, it's the moral choice as well. [/QUOTE]
