Comments on rules / refs I sent to NA Hardcourt

Yes we play to win, I agree with you there for sure. But telling people to accept cheating as part of the path to success is total crap. People don't need to cheat, and then be proud of themselves. That is dishonest, self-interested crap.

It's a bit early, coffee..

Coffee. Mmm.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that cheating is ok, but I am saying that it happens. It's competitive sport. Polo is better than other sports (everyone must have read the horror stories about children's football - parents in punch-ups on the sidelines etc) but it still a sport, and corinthian ideals are long gone - if they were ever truly present. By all accounts, W G Grace, one of the greatest ever cricketers, was a cheating bastard.
