What pro sports have a mercy rule?

You see, in order for something to be transparent, you still need to be able to put forth a cogent argument to support what you assert is transparent. You have yet to explain why adults being paid to compete in a soccer game, watching their opponents enthusiatically celebrate a 13th goal, have been subjected to a…

If we stop celebrating the breaking of records what is even the point of sport?

There is no ethical content in exhibiting great happiness in scoring a 13th goal in a soccer match, and you have to be a moral imbecile to attempt to transform this trivia into something of ethical import.

For someone who wants to be the dignity and class cop, maybe don’t call them an amateur team?

Oh, FFS, some professional athletes had some elaborate celebrations after scoring goals against very overmatched athletes who were also getting paid. You have to be a moral imbecile to make this trivia into a debate about ethics that is worthy of any energy.

This does little to help grow the game globally in places like Thailand.

It wasn’t the dunking, it was the celebrating later goals like they were major goals.

BINGO. Thailand’s going to get blown out by everyone in the group, so getting 13 on them is tactically advantageous.

Aren’t goal differentials part of the decision making process if teams have the same record or points or whatever? If so, it seems absolutely correct to dunk on teams as much as possible. 

9,000? You’re missing a ‘1’ in there.  My sporttourer sees 10,500 regularly.

It’s a turbo 4 as well, so it’ll sound even less interesting.

Who are we kidding, I’m sure it’s a peaky mess.
